Antigenic variation among human strains of influenza C virus detected with monoclonal antibodies to gp88 glycoprotein. 1986

K Sugawara, and H Nishimura, and F Kitame, and K Nakamura

Antigenic variation among influenza C virus strains was investigated with monoclonal antibodies against gp88 glycoprotein. Seven monoclonal antibodies obtained were tentatively classified into two groups, A and B. The group A antibodies had hemagglutination inhibition (HI), hemolysis inhibition and neutralization activities whereas the group B antibodies possessed none of them. A comparison of antigenicity among 15 human strains with these antibodies in radioimmunoprecipitation and HI tests showed that the regions recognized by the group A antibodies undergo considerable changes, whereas those by group B are conserved among the strains.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50). Neutralization Test,Test, Neutralization,Tests, Neutralization
D009975 Orthomyxoviridae A family of RNA viruses causing INFLUENZA and other respiratory diseases. Orthomyxoviridae includes INFLUENZAVIRUS A; INFLUENZAVIRUS B; INFLUENZAVIRUS C; INFLUENZAVIRUS D; ISAVIRUS; and THOGOTOVIRUS. Influenza Viruses,Myxoviruses,Orthomyxoviruses,Influenza Virus,Myxovirus,Orthomyxovirus
D009982 Gammainfluenzavirus A genus of the family ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE comprising viruses similar to types A and B but less common, more stable, more homogeneous, and lacking the neuraminidase protein. They have not been associated with epidemics but may cause mild influenza. Influenza C virus is the type species.

D006385 Hemagglutination Inhibition Tests Serologic tests in which a known quantity of antigen is added to the serum prior to the addition of a red cell suspension. Reaction result is expressed as the smallest amount of antigen which causes complete inhibition of hemagglutination.
