COMPREHENSIVE MAPPING OF COMMON IMMUNODOMINANT EPITOPES IN THE WEST NILE VIRUS NONSTRUCTURAL PROTEIN 1 RECOGNIZED BY AVIAN ANTIBODY RESPONSES.

Comprehensive mapping of common immunodominant epitopes in the West Nile virus nonstructural protein 1 recognized by avian antibody responses.

West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that primarily infects birds but occasionally infects humans and horses.Certain species of birds, including crows, house sparrows, geese, blue jays and ravens, are considered highly susceptible hosts to WNV.The nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of WNV can elicit protective immune responses, including
