A monoclonal antibody raised against X-31 influenza virus reacted with the majority of natural H3N2 viruses isolated between 1968 and 1982. A number of variants of X-31 and of a receptor-binding mutant of X-31 were selected by the antibody during virus replication in eggs and MDCK cells. Antibody-binding assays indicated that the viruses selected were not antigenic variants and analyses using derivatized erythrocytes showed that their receptor-binding properties differed from those of the parent viruses. The amino acid substitutions in the variants were all located in the vicinity of the receptor-binding site and the structural consequences are discussed in relation to the three-dimensional structure of X-31 HA. In addition all of the variants fused membranes at higher pH than wild-type virus indicating that structural modifications in the distal globular region of HA influence the low pH-induced conformational change required for membrane fusion.
一种针对X-31流感病毒产生的单克隆抗体与1968年至1982年间分离出的大多数天然H3N2病毒发生反应。在病毒于鸡胚和MDCK细胞中复制期间,该抗体筛选出了许多X-31变体以及X-31的一种受体结合突变体。抗体结合试验表明,筛选出的病毒不是抗原变体,使用衍生化红细胞进行的分析表明,它们的受体结合特性与亲本病毒不同。变体中的氨基酸取代均位于受体结合位点附近,并结合X-31血凝素(HA)的三维结构讨论了其结构后果。此外,所有变体在比野生型病毒更高的pH值下融合膜,这表明HA远端球状区域的结构修饰影响了膜融合所需的低pH诱导的构象变化。
