Slow-reacting complement-requiring neutralizing (NT) antibody was detected in sera from cattle 2 weeks after infection with Akabane virus. Bovine sera obtained 3 or 4 weeks after infection contained slow-reacting noncomplement-requiring NT antibody. The slow-reacting complement-requiring NT antibody was sensitive to 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME), whereas the slow-reacting noncomplement-requiring NT antibody was resistant to 2-ME. The initial phase may represent the IgM response and the later phase a change to IgG. A NT test was developed in which virus-serum mixtures were incubated at 4 degrees C for 48 h and then with complement at 37 degrees C for 60 min; this gave an improved sensitivity over the previous incubation at 37 degrees C for 60 min.

D008623 Mercaptoethanol A water-soluble thiol derived from hydrogen sulfide and ethanol. It is used as a reducing agent for disulfide bonds and to protect sulfhydryl groups from oxidation. 2-ME,2-Mercaptoethanol,2 Mercaptoethanol
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).
