title: Interspecies antigenic determinants of structural proteins of mammalian type-C viruses as detected by a competitive sepharose bead immunofluorescence assay.
abstract: The present paper describes a competitive immunoassay using antiserum to FeLV p 27 and SSV-conjugated Sepharose beads. The assay is applied to compare the interspecies-specific antigenic determinants of the major structural proteins of type-C viruses of different mammalian species. The test proves to be highly sensitive and specific and may be used for the demonstration of viral proteins in crude cellular extracts.
