Abstract:
A polyclonal antiserum was raised to the 20 kDa product encoded by ORF2 of Grapevine virus B (GVB) using a recombinant protein. A rabbit was immunized with the polypeptide expressed in Escherichia coli fused with gluthatione-S-transferase. The antiserum successfully detected the 20 kDa protein in Nicotiana occidentalis plants in the late stages of infection, an accumulation pattern that differs substantially from that of GVB movement protein.
