Identification of two linear B-cell epitopes from West Nile virus NS1 by screening a phage-displayed random peptide library
6 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The West Nile virus (WNV) nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) is an important antigenic protein that elicits protective antibody responses in animals and can be used for the serological diagnosis of WNV infection. Although previous work has demonstrated the vital role of WNV NS1-specific antibody responses, the specific epitopes in the NS1 have not been identified. RESULTS: The present study describes the...
