- Title
Identification of one critical amino acid that determines a conformational neutralizing epitope in the capsid protein of porcine circovirus type 2.
- Abstract
The article presents information on a study that identified a critical amino acid that determines a conformational neutralizing epitope in the capsid protein of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2). The study found a monoclonal antibody was generated against the capsid protein of PCV2. The study concluded that the alanine at position 59 in capsid protein of PCV2a strains is a critical amino acid that determines a neutralizing epitope of PCV2a strains.
