Antigenic relationships of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus and Tacaribe virus in the indirect haemagglutination test. 1975

S J Gajdamovic, and G A Klisenko, and M J Kocerovskaja, and N K Sanojan

The indirect haemagglutination test has been developed for use with LCM and Tacaribe viruses employing antibody-sensitized erythrocytes. Both in this test and in the indirect haemagglutination inhibition test cross-reactions between LCM and Tacaribe viruses were revealed. This opens new perspectives for group and species identification of arenaviruses.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008217	Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus	The type species of ARENAVIRUS, part of the Old World Arenaviruses (ARENAVIRUSES, OLD WORLD), producing a silent infection in house and laboratory mice. In humans, infection with LCMV can be inapparent, or can present with an influenza-like illness, a benign aseptic meningitis, or a severe meningoencephalomyelitis. The virus can also infect monkeys, dogs, field mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters, the latter an epidemiologically important host.	LCM Viruses,LCMV,LCM Virus,Lymphocytic choriomeningitis viruses
