RESUMO
Calves inoculated with bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV) produced virus-specific antibodies that could be detected from 2 weeks to 2.5 years postinoculation by using both indirect fluorescent-antibody and Western immunoblot assays. Antibodies were primarily to p26. Virus and BIV-specific antibodies were isolated from calves given BIV-infected blood. Antibodies to BIV proteins were found in sera from naturally infected cattle.
