Antigenic Subtyping and Epitopes’ Competition Analysis of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 using Monoclonal Antibodies
Dipongkor Saha, Liping Huang, Eva Bussalleu, David J. Lefebvre, Maria Fort, Jan Van Doorsselaere, Hans J. Nauwynck
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) strains have been classified into two major genotypes (PCV2a and PCV2b) and 8 genetic clusters: PCV2b-1A to PCV2b-1C and PCV2a-2A to PCV2a-2E. To date, no studies have been performed to antigenically subtype PCV2 strains...
