Bovine, equine and swine sera from areas free from vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) Indiana 3 (IND3)--namely Argentina, Chile, Italy and Uruguay--and endemic areas (in Brazil) were examined for anti-VSV IND3 virus antibodies in order to compare results obtained using the virus neutralisation (VN) test and liquid-phase blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Statistical analysis of the data showed close agreement between the two techniques (K = 0.92). The ELISA gave a higher specificity, positive predictive value and efficiency than the VN test. The ELISA offers the additional advantage of using a non-infectious antigen and can therefore be used for antibody quantification in diagnostic laboratories in VSV-free areas to support epidemiological surveillance programmes.
对来自无水泡性口炎病毒(VSV)印第安纳3型(IND3)地区(即阿根廷、智利、意大利和乌拉圭)以及(巴西的)流行地区的牛、马和猪血清进行检测,以寻找抗VSV IND3病毒抗体,以便比较使用病毒中和(VN)试验和液相阻断酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)所获得的结果。数据的统计分析表明,这两种技术之间具有高度一致性(K = 0.92)。ELISA比VN试验具有更高的特异性、阳性预测值和效率。ELISA还具有使用非感染性抗原的额外优势,因此可用于无VSV地区诊断实验室的抗体定量,以支持流行病学监测计划。
