Sp. Amineva et al., PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES TO FOOT-AND-MOUTH-DISEASE VIRUS TYPE ASIA-1, Biochemistry, 62(5), 1997, pp. 469-473
Eight clones of hybrid cells secreting monoclonal antibodies to foot-a
nd-mouth disease virus type Asia-1 were prepared; three of them neutra
lized viral infection. The specificity of THE monoclonal antibodies wa
s analyzed by various immunoenzyme assays using 146S viral particles,
trypsin-treated 146S particles, 12S particles, and certain viral polyp
eptides. The epitopes unique for virus type Asia-1 and conservative am
ong several types were detected on the surface of viral particles. Epi
topes on the surface of viral particle were mapped.
