title: Relation between common antigen and membrane antigens associated with Marek's disease herpesvirus and turkey herpesvirus infections.
abstract: The appearance of two kinds of membrane antigen (MA) in Marek's disease herpesvirus (MDHV) or herpesvirus of turkey (HVT) infected cells was examined using antiserum to the common antigen (common-Ag). No early-appearing MA(EMA) was detected in these cultures until 16 hours post-inoculation, after which a number of cells in these cultures had late-appearing membrane antigen (LMA) as detected by immunofluorescence (IF). Fluids from cultures infected with these viruses were examined for the presence of the common-Ag by agar-gel precipitation (AGP) test. No common-Ag was detected until 16 hours, but after 24 hours, it was detected by AGP test. These results suggest that the common-Ag is related to LMA but not to EMA.
