A panel of 40 monoclonal antibodies demonstrated that BVDV isolates have a high degree of antigenic variation largely confined to envelope glycoproteins associated with virus neutralization.

Hypothesis-generating for BVDV vaccine strain selection; prospective bovine studies needed before practice impact.
BVDV exhibits significant antigenic variation primarily in envelope glycoproteins, which may impact disease development and severity.
Corapi et al. (1990) studied Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). Monoclonal antibodies specific for BVDV was evaluated on Viral protein specificity, immunoglobulin subclass, virus-neutralizing activity, and immunoreactivity. A panel of 40 monoclonal antibodies demonstrated that BVDV isolates have a high degree of antigenic variation largely confined to envelope glycoproteins associated with virus neutralization.
