Alignment of 12-mer peptide sequences from ELISA-positive clones defines a linear epitope for the mAb 6D3. The peptide insert from ten phage clones that reacted with the mAb 6D3 were aligned. Conserved amino acid residues are boxed and the consensus sequence motif is provided below the alignment. The matching sequence 3KKPGGPG9 of the WNV C protein is provided at the bottom of alignment for comparison.
