Abstract excerpt
Escape mutants of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus were selected using neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that react with three different and previously unrecognized epitopes in the envelope protein E of TBE virus. Two of these variants (V-IC3 and V-IE3) exhibited a significantly reduced reactivity with their selecting MAbs, as determined by ELISA, whereas with one variant (V-IO3), reactivity was...
