Abstract excerpt
The genomic region coding for the antigenic structure responsible for the induction of neutralizing antibodies was localized in the central variable region of the VP2 gene by comparing the nucleotide sequence of five escape mutants derived from the standard infectious bursal disease virus strain Cu-1. Exchange of a single amino acid at one of the prominent hydrophilic parts of this region proved to be sufficient...
