A survey for swine vesicular disease antibody in pigs in Northern Ireland. 1976

B M Adair

One thousand pig sera from Northern Ireland were tested using the radial immuno-diffusion (RID) test for antibody to swine vesicular disease (SVD) virus. Sera showing precipitation in RID were further tested by serum neutralisation (SN) and double immuno-diffusion (DID) tests. The results of the RID test showed low levels of antibody present. However, SN and DID tests did not prive the specificity of this antibody. It was concluded that the low levels of antibody detected by the RID tests were not caused by subclinical levels of SVD in the pig population in Northern Ireland.

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).
