Abstract
Monoclonal antibody resistant (MAR) mutants (which escaped antibody-mediated neutralization) were selected from simian (W 3) and human (LN) isolates of simian virus 5 (SV 5), using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for antigenic sites 4 and 5 on the HN glycoprotein. Resistance correlated with an inability of the selecting antibody to bind with the respective MAR mutants. Sequence comparisons between parental and mutant HN proteins revealed multiple non-adjacent amino acid substitutions in the majority of MAR mutants. The same multiple substitutions were identified in mutants selected from both the LN and W 3 isolates of SV 5. Furthermore, different mutations on the primary sequence of the HN protein conferred resistance to the same MAb.Entities:
