Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) recognizing distinct epitopes on the H protein were characterized using recombinant MVs. We identified the location of five epitopes on the H protein structure. Our data in the present study demonstrated that the H protein of MV possesses at least two conserved effective neutralizing epitopes. One, which is a previously recognized epitope, is located near the receptor-binding site (RBS), whereas the other epitope is located at the position distant from the RBS. MAb that recognizes this epitope interfered with the hemagglutinin-fusion (H-F) interaction. This epitope was suggested to play a key role for formation of a higher order of an H-F protein oligomeric structure. Our data also identified one nonconserved effective neutralizing epitope. This epitope has been masked by an N-linked sugar modification in some genotype MV strains.
