“…2 Titer determination of PLRV-MP antiserum by Western blotting. Antiserum used at 10 different dilutions (1:4000, 1:8000, 1:10000, 1:16000, 1:20000, 1:32000, 1:40000, 1:64000, 1:80000, and 1:128000) against PLRV, each of which consists of a left lane of negative control and a right lane containing proteins extracted from PLRV-infected Nicotiana benthamiana leaves most important techniques for virus detection (Aseel and Hafez 2017) and the antiserum (either monoclonal or polyclonal) is the basis for the serology test. In most cases, the anti-coat protein (CP) antisera are used for virus detection; however, virus detection by the anti-CP antisera may not show whether the virus is in active (replication) or inactive stage.…”
