Variants of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus that resist neutralization define a domain of the E2 glycoprotein.

Stable neutralization (N) escape variants of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus were selected by anti-E2 glycoprotein monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that neutralize viral infectivity, block viral hemagglutination, and passively protect mice. The nucleotide sequence of the E1, E2, and E3 genes of four variants revealed a clustering of single mutations in a domain spanning E2-182 to E2-207. The conformation of this short linear sequence affects antigenicity in the N domain because reduction and alkylation of virus disrupted binding of some E2 neutralizing MAbs. Serologic evidence for interaction of E2 epitopes also was obtained. Mutations in the N domain of VEE virus did not alter the kinetics of binding to Vero cells. They did, in some cases, produce attenuation of virulence in mice.[1]
