Monoclonal antibodies in plant virology.
Monoclonal antibodies specific for more than 20 plant viruses have been obtained. They have been found very useful for large-scale diagnosis of viral diseases and for elucidating the antigenic structure of plant viruses at the molecular level. The advantages and limitations of these new reagents and some of their applications in plant virus serology are discussed.
