Abstract:To provide a fast and easy method to detect antibodies against fowlpox virus (FWPV) particularly in high numbers of chicken sera we established a monoclonal blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We chose two different monoclonal antibodies (mAb), anti-FWPV 3D9/2B3 and anti-FWPV 8F3/2E11, which are both directed against the 39-kDa protein of FWPV strain HP-1. The blocking ELISA depends on the blocking of mAb binding to solid-phase antigen in the presence of positive serum. For an epidemiological study a total of 184 serum samples from Gambian chicken flocks were analysed against each of the mAbs. Four of the sera were shown to contain FWPV antibodies. These four sera showed a positive cut-off value of more than 50% inhibition exclusively in the test against the mAb anti-FWPV 8F3/2E11. This phenomenon can be explained by the binding of the mAbs to distinct epitopes on the same protein.
