PG - 2595-2600 LID - 10.1099/vir.0.045302-0 [doi] AB - Hantaan virus (HTNV), a member of the family Bunyaviridae, is a major agent causing haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, a high-mortality-rate disease threatening approximately 150 000 people around the world yearly. The 3D8 mAb displays a neutralizing activity to HTNV infection. In this study, the B-cell epitopes of HTNV glycoproteins (GPs) were finely mapped by peptide scanning. A new B-cell epitope (882)GFLCPEFPGSFRKKC(896) of HTNV, which locates on Gc, has been screened out from a set of 15-mer synthesized peptides covering the full-length of HTNV-GPs. It has been shown by the alanine-scanning technique that (885)C, (893)R, (894)K, (895)K and (896)C are the key amino acids of the binding sites of the GPs. The implications of identifying a novel B-cell epitope for hantavirus immunology and vaccinology are discussed.
