The monoclonal antibody against E1 glycoprotein protect outbred albino mice from lethal infection caused by the virulent strain Trd of the VEE virus (Agapov et al., 1994).

Virmugen
Additional Molecule Role Annotation
A VEE mutant with a PE2 cleavage signal mutation and a suppressor mutation in E1 is highly attenuated in mice and provides complete protection against challenge with wild type VEE (Davis et al., 1995).
