Development and Characterization of Canine Distemper Virus Monoclonal Antibodies. Monoclon Antib Immunodiagn Immunother. 2017 May 04;: Authors: Liu Y, Hao L, Li X, Wang L, Zhang J, Deng J, Tian K Abstract Five canine distemper virus monoclonal antibodies were developed by immunizing BALB/c mice with a traditional vaccine strain Snyder Hill. Among these monoclonal antibodies, four antibodies recognized both field and vaccine strains of canine distemper virus without neutralizing ability. One monoclonal antibody, 1A4, against hemagglutinin protein of canine distemper virus was found to react only with vaccine strain virus but not field isolates, and showed neutralizing activity to vaccine strain virus. These monoclonal antibodies could be very useful tools in the study of the pathogenesis of canine distemper virus and the development of diagnostic reagents.
