SEROLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP OF SOME CUCUMBER MOSAIC VIRUS STRAINS

The serological relationship of several strains of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) has been studied using double immunodiffusion test and counter immunoelectrophoresis. By the application of homologous and heterologous immune sera it can be concluded that the tested strains might be referred to two serological groups - U and N. The immunoelectrophoretical analysis gives faster and more definite results.
