title: Use of antibodies to purified Newcastle disease virus glycoproteins for strain comparisons and characterizations.
abstract: The H/N and F1 glycoproteins responsible for hemagglutinin/neuraminidase (H/N) activity and fusion (F1) activity were purified from several Newcastle disease virus strains and used to produce antisera. These antisera can be used to clearly distinguish the virus strains by a number of techniques including radioimmunoassay, and so provide a means of classifying new virus isolates. The variations detected between strains are not related to field virulence.
