title: pH-dependent fusion of tick-borne encephalitis virus with artificial membranes.
abstract: pH-dependent fusion of TBE virus with artificial membranes was effective at slightly acidic pH with maximum at 6.4. The influence of various changes in E protein conformation on fusion process was studied.
