Abstract
In this study, we confirmed the binding of M13KO7 to Potato virus Y (PVY) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. M13KO7 is a "bald" bacteriophage in which no recombinant antibody is displayed. M13KO7 is easy to propagate by using Escherichia coli, making this method more reasonable in economic perspective. Based on this study, we suggest that M13KO7 detection system has applicability as a novel biological tool for the detection of PVY.
