Seroprevalence of mycoplasmosis in broiler, layer, and native chickens in Giza, Egypt.
We aimed to investigate Mycoplasma infections among chicken flocks (Ross, Lohmann and native) in Giza, Egypt, using serological tests, including the slide plate agglutination (SPA) test, hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test, and enzyme-linked ...

Evaluation of immunogenicity of the 2008-2009 seasonal influenza vaccines by microneutralization test [PDF]
PurposeFor evaluating the immunogenicity of an influenza vaccine, the microneutralization (MN) test has a higher sensitivity and specificity as compared to the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test.

An Improved Diluent for Rubella Hemagglutination and Hemagglutination-Inhibition Tests [PDF]
Rubella hemagglutinating (HA) antigen was prepared in BHK-21 tissue as 5% cell suspensions and from unconcentrated and 20× concentrated infected supernatant fluids. In some instances, unconcentrated fluids were treated with Tween 80 and ether; cell suspensions were treated with ether alone.

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 H1 Swine Influenza A Virus Antibodies in Human Serum Samples by Age Group
Most H1 influenza A viruses (IAVs) of swine are derived from past human viruses. As human population immunity against these IAVs gradually decreases, the risk of reintroduction to humans increases. We examined 549 serum samples from persons 0–97 years of

Application of a ddRT-PCR to quantify seasonal influenza virus for viral isolation
Viral isolation in cell cultures has been regarded for decades as the “gold standard” for the laboratory diagnosis of influenza viral infections. Not all viral strains could be isolated from clinical samples.

Cross-protective potential of a novel monoclonal antibody directed against antigenic site B of the hemagglutinin of influenza A viruses. [PDF]
The hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza A viruses has been classified into sixteen distinct subtypes (H1-H16) to date. The HA subtypes of influenza A viruses are principally defined as serotypes determined by neutralization or hemagglutination inhibition ...
