Abstract excerpt
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) as a potential RNA virus vector for the presentation of foreign antigenic epitopes was further characterized. Insertion mutagenesis of infectious CVB3 cDNA yielded viable antigen chimeras containing variant BC loops of VP1 of coxsackievirus B4 (CVB4). Analysis of three antigen chimeras allowed the mapping of the N-terminal part of the neutralizing antigenic site 1 (N-Ag1) of CVB4 which is...
