Abstract

An isolate of maize stripe virus (MStV) was identified in Taiwan (MStV-T). The 34.7-kDa capsid protein and three noncapsid proteins (19.8, 20.4, and 22.5 kDa) purified from MStV-T infected corn plants were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and used as antigens for comparison with the capsid protein (35.0 kDa) and noncapsid protein (19.8 kDa) of maize stripe virus from Florida (MStV-FL). The antiserum to the 35.0-kDa capsid protein of MStV-FL reacted to the plants infected with MStV-T and purified MStV-T in indirect and double-antibody sandwich (DAS) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA); the antiserum to the 19.8-kDa noncapsid protein of MStV-FL reacted more strongly in indirect ELISA than in DAS-ELISA (.)
