Abstract excerpt
IBV serotype-specific, virus neutralising (VN) antibody is induced by the S1 subunit of the spike (S) glycoprotein. A Portuguese isolate (Port/322/85) is considered to be an in vivo recombinant. VN tests showed that it belongs to the Massachussetts (Mass) serotype. Correspondingly, the sequence of S1 and S2 was extremely similar to that of older Mass isolates. However, the matrix (M) glycoprotein and upstream...
