Identification of a novel linear epitope on the NS1 protein of avian influenza virus

Conclusions: We identified a conserved linear epitope, WNDNT, on the AIV NS1 protein that is recognized by MAb D9. This MAb and its epitope may facilitate future studies on NS1 function and aid the development of new diagnostic methods for AIV detection.
