title: [The localization and preliminary characteristics of antigenic sites (B epitopes) in the nucleocapsid protein of the Lassa virus].
abstract: Nucleocapsid protein of Lassa virus contains 4 epitope sites. Three of them were localized in amino acid position 123-1 27, 337-346, and 518-527. Monoclonal antibody 1108 specific to Lassa virus NP-protein reacted with 123-127 synthetic peptide in solid-phase ELISA and precipitated nucleocapsid proteins of Machupo, Tacaribe, and Mopeia arenaviruses in RIP.
