Purified viral protein was obtained from Potato virus Y (PVY) pure culture maintained on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants. The average concentration of the purified materials was found to be 153.1 ng/µl. PVY purified virus preparation was used for immunizing rabbit for production of polyclonal antisera against the virus. Good quality antisera were collected one week post boosters (AS4b, AS5b, AS6b and AS7b) and the IgG fractions were separated through ammonium sulphate precipitation. These four IgG fractions were tested for the detection of PVY by DAS-ELISA with universal anti- rabbit enzyme conjugate as secondary antibody, resulted high specificity with the known PVY infected samples. The assay was compared with the commercial DAS-ELISA kit (Bio Reba, AG, Switzerland). Results revealed that, among the antisera; AS6b was showing the highest mean absorbance values for all positive samples (2.210) and the value shown by the commercial kit was slightly higher i.e., 2.250 and these were followed by AS5b (1.680), AS7b (0.929) and AS4b (0.362), respectively. The absorbance values shown by AS6b were statistically at par with the commercial kit.
