| Popis: | Jamestown Canyon (JC) virus of the California (CAL) serogroup has been isolated in 12 American states and 6 Canadian provinces. A study was undertaken to produce monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to JC virus and to use these MAbs to assay for possible heterogeneity among naturally occurring JC topotypes in Canada. MAbs were produced to the prototype strain of JC virus using BALB/c mice. Twenty-seven secreting MAbs were obtained and three of these MAbs were propagated and studied. All three MAbs, M1 (IgG1), M2 (IgG2b), and M3 (IgG2a), were reactive by immunofluorescent antibody assay against JC-infected vero cells and by ELISA against JC antigen. MAb M2 reacted with all members of the Melao complex, MAb M1 reacted only with Keystone virus, while MAb M3 exhibited no reactivity with other CAL serogroup viruses. Only MAb M3 possessed neutralization and hemagglutination inhibition activities against JC virus. The MAbs were also tested by ELISA and for neutralizing activity against 13 JC topotypes isolated in 5 provinces from Newfoundland to Saskatchewan. ELISA confirmed closer identity of the Canadian topotypes to JC as opposed to the closely related South River virus. The MAbs verified all Canadian topotypes to be JC virus but revealed different patterns of reactivity between these topotypes and prototype JC virus. |
