COMBSCORES determined using the ImmunoComb solid-phase immunoassay were compared with hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) titers specific for Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and with mean enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) titers determined using Agritech Systems, Inc., ELISA. COMBSCORES for NDV and IBV increased proportionately in a stepwise manner as HI titers increased. The ImmunoComb solid-phase immunoassay was ablt to produce endpoint titers on sera with NDV-HI titers of 0 through 320 and IBV-HI titers of 0 through 1024 without reaching the maximum S-value. The ImmunoComb showed good correlation with the HI assay and the Agritech ELISA and should prove to be a useful tool for serological profiling, either alone or in conjunction with the HI test or commercial ELISA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007118 Immunoassay A technique using antibodies for identifying or quantifying a substance. Usually the substance being studied serves as antigen both in antibody production and in measurement of antibody by the test substance. Immunochromatographic Assay,Assay, Immunochromatographic,Assays, Immunochromatographic,Immunoassays,Immunochromatographic Assays
D007159 Immunologic Tests Immunologic techniques involved in diagnosis. Diagnosis, Immunological,Immunodiagnosis,Diagnosis, Immunologic,Immunologic Diagnosis,Immunologic Test,Immunological Tests,Tests, Immunologic,Diagnoses, Immunologic,Diagnoses, Immunological,Immunodiagnoses,Immunologic Diagnoses,Immunological Diagnoses,Immunological Diagnosis,Immunological Test,Test, Immunologic,Test, Immunological,Tests, Immunological
D009522 Newcastle disease virus The most well known avian paramyxovirus in the genus AVULAVIRUS and the cause of a highly infectious pneumoencephalitis in fowl. It is also reported to cause CONJUNCTIVITIS in humans. Transmission is by droplet inhalation or ingestion of contaminated water or food. Avian Paramyxovirus 1,Paramyxovirus 1, Avian

D011933 Reagent Kits, Diagnostic Commercially prepared reagent sets, with accessory devices, containing all of the major components and literature necessary to perform one or more designated diagnostic tests or procedures. They may be for laboratory or personal use.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D003332 Coronaviridae Spherical RNA viruses, in the order NIDOVIRALES, infecting a wide range of animals including humans. Transmission is by fecal-oral and respiratory routes. Mechanical transmission is also common. There are two genera: CORONAVIRUS and TOROVIRUS. Bafinivirus,Coronavirinae,Torovirinae,White bream virus,Bafiniviruses,White bream viruses
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.

D006385 Hemagglutination Inhibition Tests Serologic tests in which a known quantity of antigen is added to the serum prior to the addition of a red cell suspension. Reaction result is expressed as the smallest amount of antigen which causes complete inhibition of hemagglutination.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
