A single dilution enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of antibodies to African horsesickness virus.
A single dilution enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), utilizing a reference serum with a known, predetermined end-titre was used to compute antibody titres of serum samples against African horsesickness virus. Compared to the complement fixation test it was found to be highly reproducible and sensitive. The assay also reduced the effect of between-test variations on test results and proved superior to an existing single-dilution ELISA method.
