Abstract

The present invention relates, in general, to the genetics of viruses. In particular, the present invention provides methods of distinguishing between serotypes of avian infectious bronchitis virus based on restriction fragment length polymorphisms derived from the region of the S1 gene of IBV, peptides derived from the restriction fragments, related primers for polymerase chain reaction, and certain restriction length polymorphism patterns.
