A variable region in GP4 of European-type porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus induces neutralizing antibodies against homologous but not heterologous virus strains.

Abstract excerpt

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) can induce severe reproductive failure in sows, and is involved in the porcine respiratory disease complex. The glycoprotein GP4 of the European prototype PRRSV strain Lelystad virus (LV) contains a linear neutralizing epitope that is lo...
