Characterization of haemagglutinin-esterase protein (HE) of murine corona virus DVIM by monoclonal antibodies 2014-04-08 .txt text/plain 1947 116 60 title: Characterization of haemagglutinin-esterase protein (HE) of murine corona virus DVIM by monoclonal antibodies We analyzed the characteristics of seven monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised against purified HE (hemagglutinin-esterase) glycoprotein of the murine coronavirus DVIM (diarrhea virus of infant mice). Neutralizing activity was shown in group A mAbs exclusively, suggesting that the ratio of HA and/or AE activities may play important roles in the cell fusion activity of DVIM-infected cells. As described in a previous report [8] , by treatment of DVIM with the non-ionic detergent NP-40 we isolated the HE protein, which carries the functional sites for both acetylesterase (AE) and the haemagglutination (HA) activities. We examined the cytopathic effect of mAbs with respect to the formation of syncytia in DVIM-infected cells. The antibodies that had low titers to both activities did not delay the fusion of infected cells. ./cache/cord-294467-kq5wmavt.txt ./txt/cord-294467-kq5wmavt.txt
