Abstract
A monoclonal antibody to an Albanian isolate of plum pox potyvirus (PP V) was obtained (MAbAL), that specifically recognized strain M of this virus. The specificity of MAbAL, assessed by comparative ELISA on 130 PPV isolates of different geographical origin, 22 of which were also tested by comparative IC-PCR, gave consistent and highly reproducible results. MAbAL seems to be elicited by a stable surface determinant th at makes it particularly suitable for successful use under a wide rang e of conditions. MAbAL is an useful addition to the panel of PPV-speci fic MAbs available to date.
