Results showed two structural proteins (Capsid protein and E2 glycoprotein) and three nonstructural proteins (nsP1, nsP3 and nsP4 proteins) contained linear epitopes that were recognized by macaque anti-CHIKV antibodies. Here, E2EP3 is one of the major B-cell linear epitopes recognized by antibodies from the sera of all CHIKV-infected macaques during the early phase of disease (amino acids 2800-2818, Table 1 ). Infection of macaques with the LR2006-OPY1 isolate, which encodes K 252 in the E2 glycoprotein, strongly induced anti-CHIKV antibodies against a particular linear B-cell epitope (amino acids 3025-3066) at 16 dpi. ./cache/cord-001263-hqxiyxfj.txt ./txt/cord-001263-hqxiyxfj.txt
