Antigenic variation among murine coronaviruses: Evidence for polymorphism on the peplomer glycoprotein, E2 1985-06-30 .txt text/plain 3384 189 53 Abstract A panel of 28 monoclonal antibodies (MAb) against the structural proteins of murine hepatitis virus-4, strain JHM (MHV-4) was used in three antigen binding assays to determine the extent of antigenic homology among six strains of murine coronaviruses. Antigenic preparations for dot immunoblotting and enzyme immunoassays (EIA) consisted of microsomal fractions from MHV infected or uninfected control cells, as described previously (Talbot et al., 1984a) . (1983) , extensive conservation of the El glycoprotein was evident and similar levels of antibody binding were seen on each MHV strain, with the exception of the ts8 mutant of MHV-4. 28 monoclonal antibodies against the JHM strain of murine hepatitis virus (MHV-4) were used in three different antigen binding assays to delineate antigenic relationships among the structural proteins of six MHV strains. ./cache/cord-261291-0lntii22.txt ./txt/cord-261291-0lntii22.txt
