Application of solid phase aggregation of coated erythrocytes technique for detection of rinderpest antigen.
A solid phase aggregation of coated erythrocytes (SPACE) technique was standardized and used for the detection of rinderpest antigen in 129 samples of 9 visceral organs; from 50 clinical samples such as gum scraping, tongue scraping, faeces, urine, nasal swabs; blood from 18 rinderpest infected cattle and 2 field samples. The comparative sensitivity of SPACE, reverse phase passive haemagglutination and counter-immuno-electrophoresis tests was found to be 86.8, 84.5 and 79.8%, respectively.
