Antigenic and phylogenetic studies on a variant Newcastle disease virus using anti‐fusion protein monoclonal antibodies and partial sequencing of the fusion protein gene

Abstract excerpt

A virulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolate, 34/90, reported to show considerable antigenic diversity from more classical strains of NDV, including vaccine strains, was evaluated phylogenetically and for the presence of neutralizing epitopes on the fusion protein. Comparison of a 309 nucleotide sequence of the fusion protein gene of 34/90 with other viruses confirmed the diversity of this virus, placing it...
