title: [An immunoenzyme test used for the detection of antibodies to rinderpest: the advantage of using a purified virus cultivated in a cell line].
abstract: Two types of in vitro assays (enzyme immunoassay and sero-neutralization test) were compared for their ability to detect antibodies to rinderpest virus in field sera from West African bovines. Purified virus grown on Vero cells (Ag/Vero) or bovine kidney cells (Ag/BK), were tested as antigen in enzyme-linked immunoassays (EIA). The results of the comparative evaluation of the two antigens by EIA, prove that Ag/Vero did enhance the sensitivity and the specificity of the test in comparison to Ag/BK and offers a 94% correspondence with seroneutralization.
