Abstract excerpt
Seven mutant viruses were derived from a Scottish strain of louping ill virus using a virus envelope-specific neutralizing monoclonal antibody. None of the mutants was neutralized and immunofluorescence microscopy confirmed that they did not bind to this antibody. Four mutants showed reduced mouse neurovirulence compared with parent virus and two mutants failed to induce protective immune responses in mice...
