Comparison of Agar Gel Immunodiffusion Test, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay and Western Blotting for the Detection of BLV Antibodies
(Blackwell, 1999-10)
An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the diagnosis of bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) infection was developed and compared with the agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGIDT). Western blotting (WB) was used ...
Response to the experimental inoculation of Sigmodon hispidus (Rodentia: Muridae) with vesicular stomatitis virus, New Jersey serotype
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2009)
Sigmodon hispidus (cotton rat) was previously found to have antibodies against Vesicular Stomatitis Virus, New Jersey serotype (VSV-NJ) under field conditions in Costa Rica. In order to evaluate their response to the virus ...
