[Development of a method for the quantitative determination of the immunizing antigen (140S) of the foot-and-mouth disease virus]. 1985

P Tekerlekov, and L Vasileva, and E Nikolova, and E Veleva

Attempts were made to work out a method for measuring the amount of the 140 S antigen in virus suspensions. Early postinfection sera were obtained from guinea pigs against the productional strains of the foot-and-mouth disease virus which were used in the radial immunodiffusion test. The investigated virus suspensions were concentrated 50 to 200 times and were placed in a CsCl gradient for gradient centrifugation. The 140 S antigen fractions obtained were titrated in a radial immunodiffusion test. The size of the resulting precipitation circles were defined for the individual dilutions of the antigen, and the method of least squares was employed to establish the standard straight lines for each of the investigated productional strains of the FMD virus. The new method makes it possible to fix the content of the 140 S antigen in productional series of the FMD virus intended for vaccine production.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.
