title: Soluble antigen of blue-tongue virus.
abstract: A soluble viral antigen with possible diagnostic utility was obtained from blue-tongue virus-infected lamb kidney cells. It is a noninfectious proteinaceous substance without nucleic acid. The antigen is immunologically identical to one component of the viral particle, and in agar-gel diffusion tests it reacted with antiserum against several blue-tongue virus strains.
