Antigenic variation between three strains of rinderpest virus detected by kinetic neutralisation and competition ELISA using early rabbit antisera.
Strains of rinderpest virus (RV) with high and low virulence were compared with cell culture-attenuated RV for antigenic differences. Sera collected from rabbits 1 week after inoculation with live virus distinguished between homologous and heterologous strains by kinetic neutralisation and competition ELISA.
