Sites involved in antibody-mediated neutralization of feline immunodeficiency virus were mapped by reciprocal exchange of envelope fragments or amino acids between molecular clones of feline immunodeficiency virus with different susceptibilities to neutralization by a polyclonal cat serum. Combinations of mutations within HV-4 or within HV-4 and HV-5 changed the susceptibility of the viruses to neutralizing antibody.
