M. VERNON‐SHIRLEY AND R. BURNS. 1992. Three monoclonal antibodies (McAb), which reacted specifically with Erwinia carotovora , were produced. Monoclonal antibody 14/8.6 reacted with serogroup I/3390 but not with two other serogroups of E.c. subsp. atroseptica nor with 31 serogroups of E.c. subsp. carotovora ; McAb 14/2 reacted with all 34 serogroups; and McAb 14/8.6 was as sensitive as a commercially produced polyclonal antiserum in detecting E.c. subsp. atroseptica by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay.
