The presence of Borna disease virus (BDV) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 100 blood donors from Sapporo and 72 blood donors from Tokyo was examined using nested reverse transcriptase/polymerase chain reaction amplification with specific-primers for BDV p24. Anti-BDV p24 antibodies in the plasma of the 100 blood donors from Sapporo also were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and by Western blot. BDV RNA was detected in 3 (4.2%) of the 72 PBMC samples from Tokyo, and in 5 (5%) of the 100 PBMC samples from Sapporo. In contrast, anti-p24 antibodies were found in only 1 (1%) of the donors from Sapporo. These results suggest that BDV infection in humans may be more widespread than previously thought.

D001890 Borna Disease An encephalomyelitis of horses, sheep and cattle caused by BORNA DISEASE VIRUS.
D001891 Borna disease virus A species in the genus Bornavirus, family BORNAVIRIDAE, causing a rare and usually fatal encephalitic disease in horses and other domestic animals and possibly deer. Its name derives from the city in Saxony where the condition was first described in 1894, but the disease occurs in Europe, N. Africa, and the Near East.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
