Evaluation of the focus reduction neutralization and ELISA tests compared to the plaque reduction neutralization test for the detection of antibodies against measles virus

, 2022
Abstract Measles is an infectious febrile sickness. Despite the existence of effective vaccination, eradicating measles remains a global priority. It is required to set up a sensitive and specific test to identify measles-specific antibodies in order to estimate the level of community protection against measles.

Identification of a Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibody That Recognizes a Unique Epitope on Domain III of the Envelope Protein of Tembusu Virus

Viruses, 2020
Domain III of the envelope protein (EDIII) is the major target of flavivirus neutralizing antibody. To date, little is known regarding antibody-mediated neutralization of Tembusu virus (TMUV), a novel flavivirus emerging in duck in 2010.

Characterization of a Second Bovine Rotavirus Serotype [PDF]

, 1987
Bovine rotavirus (BRV) V 1005 was characterized by two-way cross-neutralization tests as a second serotype of BRV. Virions and inner shell particles of 65 nm and 55 nm diameter respectively, and empty capsids of 65 nm and 55 nm diameter were separated by
