title: Crossreactive neutralizing antibodies induced by immunization with caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus surface glycoprotein.
abstract: Four Saanen goats were immunized with affinity purified gp135 surface glycoprotein (SU) of caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus isolate 79-63 (CAEV-63) and evaluated for homologous and crossreactive serum neutralizing antibodies. CAEV-63 neutralizing antibodies were detected in all goats after seven immunizations with SU in Quil A adjuvant. Sera from three goats neutralized an independent CAEV isolate (CAEV-Co). However, serum from one goat did not detectably neutralize heterologous CAEV-Co and inhibited CAEV-Co neutralization by another serum.
