  • Title: To the antigenic classification of some viruses from the tick-borne encephalitis complex by monoclonal antibodies.
    Author: Gresíková M, Sekeyová M.
    Journal: Acta Virol; 1990 Feb; 34(1):90-4. PubMed ID: 1975730.
    Abstract:
    Two monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) to the Skalica virus from the tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) complex were used to compare Karshi and Royal Farm viruses with the Russian spring-summer encephalitis, Central European encephalitis (Hypr and Kumlinge strains) Skalica, Langat and Powassan viruses. The first MoAb was prepared by fusion of P3NS1 cells with BALB/c mouse spleen cells, immunized with the Skalica virus; it was of IgM class and reacted in haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test (MoAb type 1). The second MoAb was of IgG class and reacted in complement-fixation (CF) test (MoAb type 2). MoAb type 1 reacted in the HI test with Russian spring-summer encephalitis (RSSE), Central European encephalitis (CEE) virus strains, Skalica and Langat viruses. No reaction was observed with Powassan, Karshi, and Royal Farm viruses. MoAb type 2 reacted in the CF test with all members of tick-borne encephalitis complex except the Powassan, Karshi, and Royal Farm viruses.
