Anti-Marek's Disease Virus, Serotype 1 [2BN90] Antibody

This IgG1k monoclonal antibody recognizes serotype 1 Marek's disease virus (MDV).

Highlights:

  • Reacts with MDV - Reactive with all serotype 1 isolates, including CV1988
  • Can be useful as a type-specific antibody of choice for serotyping MDV serotype 1 strains and as a probe for studying the role of pp40 in MDV infection and transformation
  • Suitable for ELISA and Immunofluorescence applications

Marek's disease is a highly contagious viral neoplastic disease in chickens. Marek's disease is caused by an alphaherpesvirus known as 'Marek's disease virus' (MDV) or Gallid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2). The disease is characterized by the presence of T cell lymphoma as well as infiltration of nerves and organs by lymphocytes.

Research
A monoclonal antibody (MAb), 2BN90, was characterized on a panel of Marek's disease virus (MDV) isolates representing three antigenically related serotypes and lymphoblastoid cell lines established from Marek's disease (MD) tumors. It was reactive with all serotype 1 isolates, including CV1988, in both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescence (IF) test. The MAb immunoprecipitated and immunoblotted a 40-kilodalton protein, which was found to be phosphorylated by metabolic labeling with 32P inorganic phosphate, and localized to the cell nucleus using the IF test. It reacted with MDV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines, and the percentage of reactive cells was enhanced after treatment with iododeoxyuridine. MAb 2BN90 may be useful as a type-specific antibody of choice for serotyping MDV serotype 1 strains and as a probe for studying the role of pp40 in MDV infection and transformation.
