한국 양식 넙치에성 분리된 Iridovirus 의 면역학적 특성 비교에 관한 연구 = Comparisons of Immunological Characteristics of Iridoviruses Isolated from Cultured Flounder in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In order to determine whether the tumor-inducing iridoviruses and the mortality-associated iridoviruses from cultured marine fish in Korea belong to same type, we compared the immunological characteristics of these viruses. The electrophoretical pattern of structural proteins of the tumor-inducing was different from that of the mortality-associated iridoviruses. The antigenicity of structural proteins of these viruses were identified by Western blotting using two monoclonal antibodies against tumor-inducing iridovirus. Two monoclonal antibodies recognized a 150 kDa structural protein of tumor-inducing iridoviruses showed. However, the structural proteins of the mortality-associated iridoviruses did not react with these monoclonal antibodies. These results demonstrate that the antigenicity of the structural proteins of tumor-inducing iridovirus is different from that of mortality-associated iridovirus, indicating that these two iridoviruses belong to different types.
