| development and application of monoclonal antibodies against avian influenza virus nucleoprotein. | rapid and accurate diagnosis of avian influenza (ai) infection is important for an understanding epidemiology. in order to develop rapid tests for ai antigen and antibody detection, two monoclonal antibodies (mabs) against influenza nucleoprotein (np) were produced. these mabs are designated as f26-9 and f28-73 and able to recognize whole ai virus particles as well as the recombinant np. both of the mabs were tested in a slot blot for their reactivity against 15 subtypes of influenza virus; f28- ... | 2008 | 18006085 |
