There aren't always antibodies to all envelope proteins. That's too strong of a claim. Sometimes antibodies to early stage precursors fade before antibodies to others are developed.
I'd recommend reading about the HIV virion as an example with multiple proteins and needing multiple detected antibodies for a positive diagnosis. It's a good virus to read about due to the immense amount of research put into it.

- torstenvl 5y agoNo...? No rational person could draw that conclusion. Where exactly are you seeing evidence that the presence of protein A means antibodies to protein B will not be developed?
