Common Whatman filter paper grade 1 and nitrocellulose membrane were compared for their sensitivity in a dot-immunobinding assay for detection of serum antibody titers to Arkansas avian infectious bronchitis virus (AIBV). For a blue to purple color detection, serum antibodies were bound to AIBV antigen adsorbed on the filter-paper discs or nitrocellulose membrane. Rabbit anti-chicken IgG horseradish-peroxidase (HRP) conjugate and hydrogen peroxide with 4-chloro-1-naphthol (HRP-color development reagent) were applied. The study indicates that very small amounts of antigen/antisera are needed for the dot-immunobinding assay. The test is sensitive, economical, and easy to run and can be completed within 6-8 hours.

D002645	Chickens	Common name for the species Gallus gallus, the domestic fowl, in the family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. It is descended from the red jungle fowl of SOUTHEAST ASIA.	Gallus gallus,Gallus domesticus,Gallus gallus domesticus,Chicken
D003101	Collodion	A nitrocellulose solution in ether and alcohol. Collodion has a wide range of uses in industry including applications in the manufacture of photographic film, in fibers, in lacquers, and in engraving and lithography. In medicine it is used as a drug solvent and a wound sealant.	Nitrocellulose,Celloidin,Cellulose Nitrate,Collodion Cotton,Pyroxylin,Cotton, Collodion,Nitrate, Cellulose
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
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.
