Article Synopsis
- Neutralizing antibodies against the PRRSV virus are generally strain-specific, but some individuals can recognize multiple strains, suggesting the existence of conserved neutralizing regions.
- The study investigated the role of linear epitopes in the envelope proteins of PRRSV and found conserved antigenic regions, but these regions displayed poor immunogenicity and did not contribute to broad neutralization across different viral strains.
- Competition assays indicated that some peptides could interfere with virus infectivity, but this effect was limited to only one viral isolate, highlighting strain-specific interactions in the immune response.
