Production and characterization of polyclonal antibodies against Xanthomonas campestris pv. viticola

  • Author(s): Araujo, J.; Cruz-Guzman, Marta; Oliveira, B.; Polidoro, J.; Reis, F.; Ribeiro, Rafael; Robbs, C.;
  • Abstract: The objective of this work was to produce polyclonal antibodies against Xanthomonas campestris pv. viticola and characterize these antibodies through Elisa serological indirect method. Results indicate that polyclonal antibodies produced were highly reactive against bacterial cells, showing specificity at the pathovar level and potential to be used for diagnosis and certification purposes.
