Serological evidence for Japanese encephalitis and West Nile virus infections in domestic birds in Cambodia [PDF]
Mosquito-borne flaviviruses with an enzootic transmission cycle like Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) are a major public health concern.

Objectives: Several Flaviviruses can co-circulate. Pre-existing immunity to one virus can modulate the response to a heterologous virus; however, the serological cross-reaction between these emerging viruses in dengue virus (DENV)-endemic regions are ...

Microtiter Hemagglutination-Inhibition Assay for Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B [PDF]
The rapid microtiter technique was investigated as a means of facilitating the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B. With this technique, many samples were assayed simultaneously, and readable results were obtained in 3 hr. Other advantages of this method, in addition to speed, were the small quantity of reactants used, ease of reading, and ...

Gp.Mur is a clinically relevant antigen of the MNS blood group system that is highly prevalent in several Asian populations. Its corresponding antibody, anti-Gp.Mur, has been implicated in hemolytic transfusion reactions and hemolytic disease of the ...

Improved Hemagglutination Inhibition Assay for Mammary Tumor Virus Antigen [PDF]
It is our experience that the use of sheep red blood cells pretreated with formaldehyde and pyruvaldehyde before sensitizing with viral antigen yields results that are comparable to that obtained by using the tannic acid method. The double aldehyde method provides the added advantage of being useful for assaying the viral antigen content in substances ...

Prevalence of antibodies against avian influenza A (H5N1) virus among Cullers and poultry workers in Ho Chi Minh City, 2005. [PDF]
Between 2003 and 2005, highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) viruses caused large scale outbreaks in poultry in the Ho Chi Minh City area in Vietnam. We studied the prevalence of antibodies against H5N1 in poultry workers and cullers who were active

Detection of antibodies to Sendai virus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [PDF]
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to Sendai virus, a paramyxovirus, is described. The assay was found to be about 20-fold more sensitive than the hemagglutination inhibition assay.

Automated Imaging and Analysis of the Hemagglutination Inhibition Assay [PDF]
The hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay quantifies the level of strain-specific influenza virus antibody present in serum and is the standard by which influenza vaccine immunogenicity is measured. The HAI assay endpoint requires real-time monitoring of rapidly evolving red blood cell (RBC) patterns for signs of agglutination at a rate of ...

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...
