Diagnosis of potato virus YN: a comparison between polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies and a biological assay

Abstract: In an investigation conducted over 5 years, tests of samples from the Scottish Seed Potato Classification Scheme showed that when monoclonal antibodies (McABs) were used with the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), they reliably detected the tobacco veinal necrosis strain of potato virus Y (PVYN). Polyclonal antibodies used in the first 3 years of the investigation were unreliable in differentiating PVYN from the ordinary strain (PVYN). It is suggested that ELISA and McABs be routinely used to diagnose … Show more

“…The introduction of strain-specific MAbs represents a significant advancement in the detection and diagnosis of the various PVY strains [15,16,52]. PVY C and PVY O are serologically distinguishable, and it is possible to distinguish these using monoclonal antibodies that recognise a specific epitopes [42,58].…”

“…There are many instances of monoclonal antibodies being used to discriminate between strains of virus, bacteria or fungi. For example, there are monoclonal antibodies that will differentiate between the veinal necrosis and wild-type strains of potato virus Y (Rose, McCarra and Mitchell, 1987), between pathovars of Xanthomonas campestris (Alvarez, Benedict and Mizumoto, 1985) and between Sirococcus strobilinus strains that colonize western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) and those that colonize either pine (Pinus sp.) or spruce (Picea sp.)…”

“…PVY strains are known to be closely related serologically and no consistent serological differences have been observed between the three main strain groups using polyclonal antisera [5]. However, some monoclonal antibodies have been produced which only recognize strains in the PVY N group and not in the other two groups [13,28,29], indicating the presence of strain-specific epitopes on coat proteins of some PVY strains.…”
