Abstract

The two highly competitive, monoclonal antibodies (MAs), UM 5.1 and UM 8.1, recognize on the E2 glycoprotein of Semliki Forest virus different determinants as indicated by the absence of cross-reactive anti-idiotypic antibodies in rabbit immune sera induced against these highly neutralizing MAs.
