    Journal: Microbiol Immunol; 1987; 31(8):831-5. PubMed ID: 3683220.
    Abstract:
    Nineteen strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolated from wild ducks in Japan were placed into 4 distinct antigenic groups on the basis of their reactivities to 8 monoclonal antibodies against the HN molecule of NDV in hemagglutination inhibition tests. The NDV strains of duck origin were antigenically distinct from NDV-B1 and NDV-Miyadera originated from chickens, and varied in their virulence to chicken embryos. No apparent correlation was found between the antigenicity of the HN molecule and virulence.
