摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies and related binding proteins that are specific for conformational epitopes of avian influenza virus K5 subtype hemagglutinin glycoprotein are provided. The antibodies can be used for the detection and treatment of H5 subtype AIV in specimens.
摘要:
Continuous cell lines that are highly permissive to infection by porcine circovirus type 2 ('PCV2') are described. PCV2 is the causal agent of post-weaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome ('PMWS') in pigs. PMWS has emerged as a major disease that poses a significant threat to the economics of global swine industry. The highly permissive cell lines of this invention provide efficient and reliable sources of PCV2 for use in development of vaccines, therapies and diagnostic agents for PMWS.
摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies and related binding proteins that bind specifically to the envelope glycoprotein of H5 subtypes or neuraminidase glycoprotein of N1 subtypes of avian influenza virus (AIV) are provided. The monoclonal antibodies and related binding proteins are useful for the detection of H5 and N1 subtypes of AIV, including H5N1 subtypes and provide means for the diagnosis, surveillance and treatment of dangerous viral infections.
