Oligopeptide-based enzyme immunoassay for ovine lentivirus antibody detection

J Clin Microbiol. 1994 Jul;32(7):1813-5. doi: 10.1128/jcm.32.7.1813-1815.1994.

Abstract

Ovine progressive pneumonia virus (OPPV) is a lentivirus which causes a progressive disease in sheep. Immunodominant epitopes have been identified in the envelope gp40 glycoprotein. Synthetic peptides representing these regions are able to detect the presence of OPPV antibodies in 96% of infected sheep.
