Abstract
  • Monoclonal antibodies were developed against USDA challenge strain of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV). Indirect immunofluorescence test was used to detect antibodies in supernatants of hybridomas. Hybridoma cells were developed by fusing Sp 2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells obtained from mice immunized four times with partially purified USDA challenge strain of infectious laryngotracheitis virus. The supernatant of three hybridomas, designated as 2D1D8, 2E11G2, 2C6C7 were found positive for antibody activity against USDA challenge strain of ILTV. Hybridomas producing antibodies were cloned by the limiting dilution method. All three monoclonal antibodies reacted with USDA challenge strain of ILTV, S 88 00224 strain of ILTV, and 86 1169 strain of ILTV in an indirect immunofluorescence test. None of the monoclonal antibodies reacted with avian adenovirus 301 or parrot herpes virus in an indirect immunofluorescence test. The monoclonal antibodies were isotyped, and all three monoclonal antibodies were found to be IgM.
