Abstract excerpt
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is associated with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in pigs. A monoclonal antibody (mAb) 8E4 against the PCV2 capsid protein has the capacity to neutralize the virus. However, this mAb can only react with some PCV2a strains (LG, CL, and JF2; mAb 8E4-positive strains), but does not cross-react with some PCV2b strains (YJ and JF; mAb 8E4-negative strains). In the present...
