Abstract:
Two species-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced against Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. synoviae. The MAb against M. synoviae recognizes an antigen of 90,000 molecular weight present in strain WVU 1853 and in two Brazilian field isolates. The MAb produced against M. gallisepticum recognizes a surface antigen in strains S6 and R and in three Brazilian field isolates of different molecular weights. The MAbs do not recognize antigens in M. gallinarum and M. iowae.
