The detectability of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) viral antigen in both ante-mortem secretions and necropsy samples from experimentally infected goats was investigated by both the agar gel precipitation test (AGPT) and counter-immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). Viral antigen was detected from 42.6% of the samples tested by the AGPT and 80.3% by CIE. The detection of viral antigen in a high proportion of the ocular and nasal secretions as well as the faeces and buccal scrapings, particularly from those collected within seven days of the onset of fever, by both techniques, would seem to obviate the need for lymph node biopsies or post-mortem samples in order to make a diagnosis of PPRV infection.
通过琼脂凝胶沉淀试验（AGPT）和对流免疫电泳（CIE），研究了实验感染山羊生前分泌物和尸检样本中绵羊痘和山羊痘（PPR）病毒抗原的可检测性。AGPT检测的样本中有42.6%检测到病毒抗原，CIE检测的样本中有80.3%检测到病毒抗原。两种技术在高比例的眼鼻分泌物、粪便和颊部刮片中检测到病毒抗原，特别是在发热开始后7天内采集的样本中，这似乎消除了为诊断PPRV感染而进行淋巴结活检或尸检样本的必要性。
