Abstract:
A hybridoma which produces a high affinity monoclonal antibody to a Norwalk virus protein or peptide or to a Norwalk-related virus protein or peptide specifically immunoreactive with a protein or peptide coded for by the coding sequence of a cDNA selected from the group consisting of a cDNA corresponding to SEQ.ID.NO. 1 or a fragment thereof, a cDNA obtained by screening a cDNA library of a Norwalk-related virus with the coding sequence of a cDNA of SEQ ID NO. 1 or a fragment thereof, and a cDNA obtained by screening a cDNA library of a Norwalk-related virus with a cDNA identified by screening a cDNA library of a Norwalk-related virus with a cDNA of SID. NO. 1 or a fragment thereof;whereby said antibody produced specifically recognizes an antigen of a Norwalk virus protein or peptide or a Norwalk-related virus protein or peptide.
