Abstract excerpt
To locate antigenic epitopes on the N8 neuraminidase (NA), we generated a panel of 97 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), 66 of which inhibited NA activity (NI antibodies). Three groups of NI MAbs were identified from their different reactivities with escape mutants. Group 1 antibodies recognized the peptide loop containing residues 344 to 346, which appears to be an immunodominant region on the rim of the enzyme...
