SUMMARY Monoclonal antibodies (McAb) were obtained to potato virus Y (PVY) after immunisation of BALB/c mice with purified PVY, tobacco necrotic strain (PVY n ). Spleen cells from a mouse showing a high serum titre were used for fusion with X63NS1 myeloma cells. Hybridomas were selected in medium containing HAT. Culture supernatants were screened for antibody production against PVY, ordinary strain (PVY 0 ) and PVY n using indirect ELISA. Clones of interest were further cross‐reacted with 12 isolates each of PVY 0 and PVY n and two isolates of potato virus A (PVA) and healthy sap. For further trials, two clones which reacted specifically with PVY n isolates and one which detected all PVY isolates except two of potato virus C (PVC) were selected.
