Microimmunodiffusion test for detection of antibodies to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus in bovine serum.
A microimmunodiffusion test (MIDT) specific for detection of antibodies to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) in bovine serum has been developed. The antigen used in the MIDT was prepared from IBR virus-infected Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells grown in tissue culture. The antigen was stable, and relatively high yields were obtained readily. Results of the MIDT were obtained within 48 hours and agreed with those of the serum-neutralization test.
