A radial immunodiffusion enzyme assay (RIDEA) was developed for detection and quantitation of antibodies to equine herpes virus-1 (EHV-1) in horse sera. The detection and quantitation of EHV-1 antibody levels were based on the diameter of the radial diffusion zone of specific antibody in each serum sample reacting with EHV-1 antigen. The circular zone was made visible using peroxidase-conjugated rabbit anti-horse immunoglobulin G and a substrate containing hydrogen peroxide. The results of the RIDEA were compared with those of virus neutralization (VN) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and found to be highly correlated. The relative sensitivity and specificity (percentage of agreement with VN test) were found to be 98.2 and 92.5%, respectively. Because the test procedure is relatively easy to perform, the RIDEA could be used as a field test to detect antibodies to EHV-1 in horses.
已开发出一种放射免疫扩散酶测定法(RIDEA),用于检测和定量马血清中抗马疱疹病毒1型(EHV-1)的抗体。EHV-1抗体水平的检测和定量基于每个血清样本中特异性抗体与EHV-1抗原反应的放射扩散区直径。使用过氧化物酶偶联的兔抗马免疫球蛋白G和含过氧化氢的底物使圆形区域可见。将RIDEA的结果与病毒中和试验(VN)和酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)的结果进行比较,发现高度相关。相对敏感性和特异性(与VN试验一致的百分比)分别为98.2%和92.5%。由于该检测程序相对易于执行,RIDEA可作为一种现场检测方法,用于检测马体内抗EHV-1的抗体。
