title: Evaluation of VP2 epitopes of infectious bursal disease virus using in vitro expression and radioimmunoprecipitation.
abstract: A clone (pV 17-7) spanning a portion of the VP2 gene of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was selected from a cDNA library produced using the variant A virus strain. This clone was expressed in vitro and the protein products were immunoprecipitated with various virus-neutralizing antisera made against 6 different strains of IBDV. The antisera made against 4 variant strains immunoprecipitated the translation products from the pV 17-7 clone, but the antisera to the classic STC virus and the serotype 2 OH virus did not immunoprecipitate the pV 17-7 translation products.
