title: [5 years of monoclonal antibodies at the Central Veterinary Institute].
abstract: The use of monoclonal antibodies in veterinary research during recent years opened up several new possibilities for the study of fundamental problems and the improvement or development of diagnostic techniques. At the Central Veterinary Institute (CVI), Lelystad, the Netherlands, a large number of monoclonal antibodies to various animal pathogens were prepared and used. Our recently acquired knowledge and extensive diagnostic potential in cases of infectious disease offer adequate possibilities for the improvement or development of methods to control particular forms of disease in animals. The progress made in this fields and the use of monoclonal antibodies of the CVI are briefly reviewed.
