Monoclonal Antibodies to Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus: Analysis of Viral Epitopes and Comparison of Different Isolates

Isolation and expression of recombinant viral protein (VP2) from Iranian isolates of Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) in Escherichia coli

Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) is a member of the family Birnaviridae that has been linked to high mortalities in salmonids. Bacterial based systems as live vectors for the delivery of heterologous antigens offer a number of advantages as vaccination strategies. VP2 is a structural viral protein of IPNV with immunogenicity effects. In this study IPNV was isolated from diseased fry ...

Monoclonal antibodies to human respiratory syncytial virus and their use in comparison of different virus isolates.

Monoclonal antibodies to the RSN -2 isolate of human respiratory syncytial (RS) virus have been characterized with regard to their specificity for viral polypeptides and for different RS virus isolates. Five hybridoma antibodies recognized the phospho-protein VPP32 and the other recognized the matrix protein VPM27 . Evidence was obtained to support the view that VPP32 was associated with the nu...

Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies recognize antigenic variants among isolates of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus

Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies were developed against strains of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) from steelhead trout Salmo gajrdneri in the Deschutes River of Oregon, chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in the Sacramento h v e r of California, and rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri reared in the Hagerman Valley of Idaho. USA. These antibodies were tested for neutralization of...
