Implication

May aid BVDV differential diagnosis in veterinary settings; leaves open prospective validation in clinical samples.

Structured PICO

P
Population
26 isolates of Bovine Virus Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV), 5 isolates of Hog Cholera Virus (HCV), and 4 isolates of Border Disease Virus (BDV)
I
Intervention
Three monoclonal antibodies against the NADL strain of BVDV (4G8, 4F4, 4H12)
O
Outcome
Reactivity by indirect immunofluorescent assaysurrogate

Monoclonal antibody 4G8 specifically recognizes BVDV isolates without cross-reacting with HCV or BDV, suggesting utility in the differential diagnosis of Pestivirus infections.

Cite This Study

McHugh et al. (1988) studied Pestivirus infection. Monoclonal antibodies against NADL strain of BVDV was evaluated on Reactivity with Pestivirus isolates by indirect immunofluorescent assay. Monoclonal antibody 4G8 reacted with all 26 BVDV isolates but none of the HCV or BDV isolates, indicating potential utility in the differential diagnosis of Pestivirus infection.
