Q221K mutation in VP2 drives antigenic shift of infectious bursal disease virus by Haifeng Xiong, Haifeng Xiong, Haifeng Xiong, Jiayan Wu, Jiayan Wu, Jiayan Wu, Quan Xie, Quan Xie, Quan Xie, Quan Xie, Tuofan Li, Tuofan Li, Tuofan Li, Tuofan Li, Zhimin Wan, Zhimin Wan, Zhimin Wan, Zhimin Wan, Aijian Qin, Aijian Qin, Aijian Qin, Aijian Qin, Jianqiang Ye, Jianqiang Ye, Jianqiang Ye, Jianqiang Ye, Hongxia Shao, Hongxia Shao, Hongxia Shao, Hongxia Shao

“…Neutralization assays revealed that mAb 5B5 could inhibit replication of an engineered attIBDV carrying 221K in Leghorn male hepatoma (LMH) cells. Structural analysis further found that 221K is surface-exposed and alters local electrostatic potential, possibly facilitating immune evasion.DiscussionAll these demonstrated that 221K is a unique antigenic site in VP2 of nVarIBDV associated with immune escape, providing novel insights into the antigenicity of nVarIBDV and novel targets for efficient diagnostics, vaccine design, and molecular surveillance of IBDV.…”
