Topological analysis of the reovirus type 3 hemagglutinin

Virology. 1983 May;127(1):220-4. doi: 10.1016/0042-6822(83)90385-9.

Abstract

We previously showed that the reovirus type 3 hemagglutinin (HA) has distinct functional domains. For example, we identified one group of anti-HA monoclonal antibodies which only inhibited virus-mediated hemagglutination and another group which exclusively neutralized reovirus infectivity. Using competition radioimmunoassays, we now report that these functionally discrete domains on the reovirus type 3 HA correspond to discrete antigenic regions of the protein.
