In this study, MAbs to the expressed coat protein of CiLV-C were produced for serological detection of CiLV-C in crude extracts of infected tissues in double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (DAS-ELISA), dot blot immunosorbent assays(DBIA) and immuonocapture-reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (IC-RT-PCR) procedures.
