Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced to four Chlamydia psittaci isolates: NJ1 and TT3 from turkeys, VS1 from a parakeet, and B577 from an ovine abortion. MAbs were tested for reactivity with each isolate by the indirect immunofluorescent antibody technique and for neutralization by an inclusion reduction neutralization technique in tissue culture. Two genus-specific and 14 serovar-specific MAbs were produced. Genus-specific MAbs reacted with all avian and mammalian isolates; however, each failed to neutralize its homologous chlamydial isolate. Turkey isolates NJ1 and TT3 were antigenically similar; serovar-specific MAbs produced to each reacted equally with both isolates yet showed little or no reaction with other serovars. Serovar-specific MAbs to the parakeet and abortion isolates were distinct; no cross-reactions were seen with other serovars. None of the serovar-specific MAbs reacted with an ovine arthritis isolate. Of the 14 serovar-specific MAbs, 13 partially neutralized homologous strains with or without the addition of complement. Because of the high specificity, the serovar-specific MAbs used with the immunofluorescence technique provided a rapid and precise method to identify three serovars of C. psittaci.
