摘要： Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a coronavirus which can cause severe human respiratory diseases with a fatality rate of almost 36%.& nbsp;In this study, we report the generation, characterization and epitope mapping of several monoclonal antibodies against the spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) of MERS-CoV. Two monoclonal antibodies ((4C7) and (6E8)) that can react with linearized RBD have been selected for subsequent identification of RBD mAb-binding epitopes. Two distinct novel linear epitopes, 423FTCSQIS(429) and (546)SPLEGGGWL(554),were precisely located at the outermost surface of RBD by dot-blot hybridization and ELISAs. Multiple sequence alignment analysis showed that these two peptides were highly conserved. Alanine (A)-scanning mutagenesis demonstrated that residues 423F, 428I, and 429S are the crucial residues for the linear epitope (423)FTCSQIS(429) while residues 548L, 550G, 553W, 554L for epitope (546)SPLEGGGWL(554). These findings may be helpful for further understanding of the function of RBD protein and the development of subsequent diagnosis and detection methods.
