Abstract excerpt
The enterovirus 71 (EV71) SP70 epitope, derived from amino acids 208‑222 of VP1, is a neutralizing epitope. The present study aimed to assess the inter‑species differences of the antibodies induced by EV71‑based antigens in responses to SP70 mutant peptides. BALB/c mice and Lou/C rats were immunized with EV71 SP70. Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) were produced by hybridoma clones. Serum polyclonal antibodies (Pabs)...
