The four Western immunoblot negative, virus-neutralising mAbs were tested for their ability to bind native SARS-CoV in infected cells by immunofluorescence assay. While purified virus is clearly the optimal antigen tested in this series of experiments, the lower quality SARS-CoV-infected Vero cell lysates are, however, much easier to prepare for diagnostic assays. This paper describes the development of murine mAbs which recognise SARS-CoV antigens in ELISA, immuno-dotblot, Western immunoblot, on the surface of infected cells, and in neutralisation assays. ./cache/cord-301974-4wn40ivq.txt ./txt/cord-301974-4wn40ivq.txt
