title: Development and evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection, typing, and subtyping of vesicular stomatitis virus.
abstract: An indirect sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been used for vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) typing using sets of monovalent and polyvalent rabbit/guinea pig antisera for identification of VSV types New Jersey (VNJ) and Indiana (VIND). The VIND polyvalent antiserum (VIND-P) detects any strain of the 3 subtypes of the VIND type (VIND-1, VIND-2, and VIND-3) with the same strong reactivity. It is also possible to subtype the VIND strains using VIND-P rabbit antiserum as capture antibody and monovalent VIND-1, VIND-2, or VIND-3 guinea pig antisera as detector. The ELISA proposed has about 10 times more sensitivity and provides 10% more positive results than does the complement fixation 50% (CF50) test when epithelial samples are tested.
