title: Development of a recombinant nucleoprotein-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for quantification of antibodies against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.
abstract: A rapid, inexpensive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to quantitate antibodies to porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV) in serum was developed using a recombinant PRRSV nucleoprotein (rN). The sensitivity (85.3%) and specificity (81.7%) of the Kansas State University ELISA were good, correlating well (82.4%) with the IDEXX HerdChek ELISA.
