Production of monoclonal antibodies to Potato virus Y-NTN strain and their use for strain differentiation
Plant Pathology 47 (4), 505-509
Abstract: Four mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against potato virus Y (PVY) were produced. MAb 4C1 reacted with four isolates of PVY^NTN and only very weakly with one isolate of the necrotic strain of PVY (PVY^N). It did not react with other isolates of the ordinary strain of PVY tested. MAb 2C9 reacted with all isolates tested and can be used to produce a specific diagnostic kit for routine PVY detection. Other MAbs had different specificities and reacted with isolates of various strains of PVY. MAbs did not react with seven other members of the Potyvirus group including potato virus A. A MAb-based ELISA, using MAb 4C1, was devised and shown to detect PVY^NTN specifically.
