Antigenic Relationships Among Newcastle Disease Virus Mutants Obtained from Laboratory Strains and from Recent California Isolates

Abstract

The antigenic relationship between pairs of plaque mutants of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) derived from laboratory strains and from isolates from the 1971-72 California epizootic were examined by kinetic neutralization test. Comparing four sets of mutants from laboratory strains by both kinetic neutralization and hemagglutination inhibition tests, a similarity was found in the antigenic relationship expressed as an r value with both tests. However, kinetic neutralization was the more precise as well as sensitive assay. Antigenic diversity was greatest between pairs of mutants from different strains, but distinctions could also be made between mutants from the same strains such as Herts-L and Herts-S with an r value of 36%. Examination of mutants from the California epizootic isolated from separate locations and at different times showed antigenic divergence which was greatest between two red-plaque mutants with an r value of 39%. Antigenic distinctions were found between a red- and clear-plaque mutant obtained from isolates taken from brain and tracheal swabs of one infected chicken. In addition to antigenic divergence found between pairs of some mutants, two of the clear-plaque mutants reacted more avidly with antibody than did the corresponding red-plaque partner. Thus, both differences in antigenicity and avidity can be found among these NDV mutants. The antigenic variation found among these mutants is similar to that found within a serotype. This would imply that at the present NDV is a single serological type.
