Six field isolates believed to be rinderpest viruses and 2 known strains of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) viruses were titrated in the presence of normal rabbit serum and with hyperimmune rinderpest antiserum prepared in rabbits. The known PPR viruses had indices less than 10 whereas 4 of the suspect field isolates had indices greater than a hundred. Two suspect field isolates had indices less than 20; both were collected from small ruminant wild life and are probably PPR viruses.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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).
