Table 4.
Comparison of the BVDV E2 cELISA with virus neutralization test (VNT).
Serum | VNT | Agreement (%) a | Kappa value b | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
cELISA | No | Positive | Negative | |||
Vaccinated sera | Positive | 156(A) | 156(B) | 0 | 100 | 1 |
Negative | 4(C) | 0 | 4(D) | |||
Clinical sera | Positive | 66(A) | 64(B) | 2 | 95.8% | 0.908 |
Negative | 124(C) | 6 | 118(D) |
Agreement (%) =(B+D)/(A+C).
The kappa value > 0.4 was regarded as significant difference.
