Abstract: Binding of Mab H16:E70 to
A266T was reduced by almost half in comparison to wild type
L1.
Abstract: Retention of the C-terminal region 428-483 was critical for the binding of conformation-specific Mabs (H16:V5, H16:E70, H16:U4 and H16:9A) whereas deletion of the nuclear localisation signal (NLS) or the
C428G mutation or an N-terminal deletion (residues 2-9) did not affect the antigenicity.
Abstract: The N-terminal deletion resulted in a mixed population of 30 and 55nm VLPs, which differs from the same construct expressed in Escherichia coli, whereas pentamer aggregates resulted from deletion of the 428-465 region or the
C428G mutation.
Abstract: This paper analyses, using a panel of well-characterised Mabs, the effects on the antigenicity of various C- and N-terminal deletants of HPV-16
