Serum Neutralization Assay Can Efficiently Replace Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test for Detection and Quantitation of West Nile Virus Antibodies in Human and Animal Serum Samples

A rapid serum neutralization test in microplates for the detection of antibodies to hog cholera virus.

The fluorescent antibody serum neutralization (FASN) test for the detection of antibodies to hog cholera virus was developed utilizing 96-well and Terasaki microplates. This microtechnique, especially when performed in Terasaki plates, offers some advantage if compared with conventional FASN in coverslip cell cultures, being easier and more rapid, saving of reagents and allowing simple microsco...

Comparison of Micro Neutralization Test with Hemadsorption-Inhibition Test, and Immunoflrorescence Technique for Detecting Mumps Antibodies

Varicella-zoster plaque assay and plaque reduction neutralization test by the immunoperoxidase technique.

A new plaque assay for the quantitation of varicella-zoster virus and a plaque reduction neutralization test for the determination of neutralizing antibody titer have been developed using the indirect immunoperoxidase technique. As compared with the classical plaque assay using a solid overlay, the test gives earlier results since plaque counting can be performed on day 3 after the inoculation ...

Bluetongue virus: comparative evaluation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunodiffusion, and serum neutralization for detection of viral antibodies.

Comparative studies on the detection of bovine serum immunoglobulin G antibodies to bluetongue virus with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, an immunodiffusion method, and a serum neutralization assay demonstrated complete concordance between the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the serum neutralization assay results. However, the immunodiffusion method failed to detect bluetongue virus...
