title: A micromethod for measuring swine fever antibody by neutralisation and immunofluorescence.
abstract: A micromethod employing the neutralisation and direct immunofluorescence technique for the detection of antibodies against swine fever in pig serum samples is described. The micromethod is simple and reproducible when compared with the macromethod. A total of 80 blood samples were randomly collected for comparison. The results are promising and reveal a 100 per cent correlation with the macrotechnique.
