Abstract
Five monoclonal antibodies against the bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) viral strain NADL were isolated and characterized by an indirect immunofluorescence assay. Extensive cross-reactions were detected when the antibodies were tested with 12 heterologous BVD and four hog cholera (HC) viral strains. One antibody reacted with all strains tested. Two antibodies were specific for cytopathogenic BVD viruses, but failed to react with HC virus. The other antibodies reacted to varying degrees with BVD and HC viral strains.
