Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), a pathogen of major economic importance to the world's poultry industries, causes a severe immunodepressive disease in young chickens. Maternal antibodies are able to protect the progeny passively from IBDV infection. The gene encoding the IBDV host-protective antigen (VP2) has been cloned and expressed in yeast resulting in the production of an antigen that very closely resembles native VP2. When injected into specific pathogen free chickens a single dose of microgram quantities of the yeast derived antigen induces high titres of virus neutralizing antibodies that are capable of passively protecting young chickens from infection with IBDV.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
