Monoclonal antibodies (MAB) to each of the 3 major structural proteins of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) of swine were compared, using their virus-neutralizing (VN) activity in the presence or absence of guinea pig, rabbit, or swine complement. The MAB against the peplomer protein had similar VN titers for TGEV in the presence or absence of complement from any source. The MAB against the matrix protein had VN activity for TGEV only in the presence of complement, whereas MAB specific for the nucleocapsid protein did not possess VN activity in the presence or absence of complement. Serum from sows containing antibodies against TGEV peplomer and matrix proteins had slightly higher VN titers in the presence of complement than in the absence of complement. High concentrations of complement from swine serum (128 U) had little effect on the infectivity of TGEV for swine testes cells, whereas 32 U of complement from rabbit serum and 64 U of complement from guinea pig serum were able to neutralize virulent and attenuated TGEV in the absence of known antibodies for TGEV. Complement (less than or equal to 8 U) from any source did not decrease the infectivity of TGEV by greater than 0.5 log10 units.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays

D003165 Complement System Proteins Serum glycoproteins participating in the host defense mechanism of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION that creates the COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX. Included are glycoproteins in the various pathways of complement activation (CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY; ALTERNATIVE COMPLEMENT PATHWAY; and LECTIN COMPLEMENT PATHWAY).

D003332 Coronaviridae Spherical RNA viruses, in the order NIDOVIRALES, infecting a wide range of animals including humans. Transmission is by fecal-oral and respiratory routes. Mechanical transmission is also common. There are two genera: CORONAVIRUS and TOROVIRUS. Bafinivirus,Coronavirinae,Torovirinae,White bream virus,Bafiniviruses,White bream viruses
