A single radial hemolysis technique for the measurement of influenza virus antibody in swine serum. 1978

T Ogawa, and T Sugimura, and Y Tanaka, and T Kumagai

A single radial hemolysis technique was applied to the measurement of swine influenza virus antibody in swine serum. It was recognized to be useful for the detection of this antibody, although heating at 56 degrees C for 30 minutes was necessary to remove non--specific hemolysis from the test sample. The single radial hemolysis titer was correlative with the hemagglutination--inhibition titer in serum from pigs infected experimentally or naturally. This technique is simple, rapid and unaffected with non--specific inhibitors in swine serum. It does not require concentrated purified virus either. Therefore, it is applicable to the sero--epizootiologic surveillance of swine influenza on a large scale.

D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.

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.
