Eight isolates of potato virus Y NTN strain (PVY-NTN) of different origin were studied by means of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) in non-competitive and competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and by immunoblot analysis of the viral coat protein (CP). As the MAbs reacted with the denatured viral CP, their epitopes must be continuous. The ELISA data demonstrate that the epitopes are topologically different. The epitopes may be located on the N-terminal part of CP as showed its partial amino acid sequencing and the immunoblot analysis.
