Furthermore, residues P85 and Y89 are found to be highly conserved across different IAV subtypes, namely seasonal H1N1 and H3N2, as well as the highly pathogenic H5N1 and H5N6 avian strains. The membrane was then washed and full-length NS1 transfected cell lysates were subjected to IP with mAb 19H9 and protein A agarose beads followed by detection of immunoprecipitated proteins using rabbit anti-Myc antibody in Western blot. To delineate the epitope of NS1 recognized by mAb 19H9, a series of NS1 truncation mutants consisting of residues 1-84, 1-100, 91-230 and 85-230 were generated and their expression levels in transiently transfected 293T cells were verified using an anti-Myc antibody ( Fig. 2A, upper panel) . ./cache/cord-329403-jzrlywfe.txt ./txt/cord-329403-jzrlywfe.txt
