Viral and viral protein specificity of antibodies induced in cows persistently infected with noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus after vaccination with cytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus
1988
Bolin, S.R.
Neutralizing and nonneutralizing antibodies to bovine viral diarrhae (BVD) virus were detected in 3 cows persistently infected with noncytopathic BVD virus after vaccination with modified-live cytopathic BVD virus. Neutralizing antibodies detected in serum samples from each persistently infected cow at 3 weeks after vaccination were highly specific for certain isolates of cytopathic BVD virus and reacted only with a viral protein with a molecular weight of 53,000. Neutralizing antibodies to 1 of 3 isolates of noncytopathic BVD virus were detected in a serum sample obtained at 12 weeks after vaccination from 1 of 3 persistently infected cows. Nonneutralizing antibodies were detected in all cows at 7 to 12 weeks after vaccination.The nonneutralizing antibodies were less specific for isolates of BVD virus and reacted with viral proteins with molecular weights of 115,000, 80,000, 53,000, and 47,000.
