Stable neutralization and protection escape variants of a virulent strain (Trinidad Donkey) of the VEE virus were selected by monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Determination of nucleotide sequences of nine variants revealed a clustering of single mutations in four regions of the E1 and E2 glycoproteins. Involvement of amino acid residues 206 (site E1-1), 57 and 59 (site E2-2), 180, 182, 213, 214 and 216 (site E2-6) and 232 (site E2-3) in protective epitopes was demonstrated.
通过单克隆抗体(MAb)筛选出委内瑞拉马脑炎病毒(VEE病毒)强毒株(特立尼达驴毒株)的稳定中和及保护性逃逸变异株。对九个变异株的核苷酸序列测定显示,E1和E2糖蛋白四个区域存在单突变聚集现象。证实了206位氨基酸残基(E1-1位点)、57和59位氨基酸残基(E2-2位点)、180、182、213、214和216位氨基酸残基(E2-6位点)以及232位氨基酸残基(E2-3位点)参与保护性表位。
