In order to overcome serological cross-reactions among orbivirus serogroups, which can hinder the accurate diagnosis of bluetongue virus (BTV) infection of livestock, a blocking ELISA (B-ELISA) incorporating a monoclonal antibody (20E9B7G2) with specificity for the BTV serogroup was developed. Experimental antisera raised to South African BTV serotypes 1 to 19 were tested in the B-ELISA and all blocked the binding of 20E9B7G2 to BTV antigen. The sensitivity and specificity of the assay was evaluated with a range of experimental and field sera and compared to a sensitive indirect ELISA (I-ELISA) for the detection of BTV-specific antibodies. The specificity of the B-ELISA was absolute for antibodies to BTV, showing no cross-reaction with experimental antisera to serotypes of the closely related orbivirus causing epizootic haemorrhagic disease of deer. The sensitivity of the B-ELISA exceeded that of the I-ELISA. In particular, the B-ELISA detected a BTV-specific antibody response much earlier after infection that the I-ELISA, while still exhibiting full sensitivity to BTV antibody titres several months after infection.

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.
