Two of the monoclonal antibodies reacted with the native forms of the E1 glycoprotein but did not neutralize virus infectivity. One of the anti-E1 antibodies formed an infectious virus‐antibody complex. The other two monoclonal antibodies reacted with the E2 glycoprotein in both an unfolded as well as a native structure. One of these antibodies was very effective for blocking virus infectivity. None of these antibodies reacted with Semliki Forest virus. The anti-E1, but not the anti-E2, antibodies cross-reacted with three serologically related equine encephalomyelitis viruses., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-59-2-421
