E-2ME-SDS, E-IAA-SDS and particularly E-HPLC were less immunogenic than E-TX, complete virion or formalin-inactivated JE vaccine, which were almost similarly immunogenic to produce anti-JE ELISA and neutralizing (N) antibodies. E-HPLC produced low but definite N antibodies with highest N/ELISA ratio among all immunogens tested. The result indicated that most of the JE virus E protein N and ELISA epitopes were conformational, but some N epitope(s) were resistant to denaturation and could be preserved in E-HPLC better than the ELISA epitopes., 熱帯医学 Tropical medicine 32(3). p103-113, 1990}, pages = {103--113}, title = {Immunogenicity of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Envelope Glycoprotein E Prepared by Four Different Methods}, volume = {32}, year = {1990} }
