title: Antigenic variation of Newcastle disease virus strains detected by monoclonal antibodies.
abstract: Forty Newcastle disease virus strains and isolates could be placed in eight distinct antigenic groups on their ability to induce binding of nine mouse monoclonal antibodies, raised against strain NDV-Ulster 2C, to infected MDBK cells as assessed by an indirect immuno-peroxidase test. Viruses placed in each group appeared to share both biological and epizootiological properties.
