Abstract
The results of examination of 375 bovine serum and 150 bovine milk samples for detection of bovine leukemia virus infection by the immunodiffusion technique were compared with those of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). It was concluded that the ELISA is another useful method for the detection of antibodies to bovine leukemia virus in serum and milk. The ELISA provides a quantitative result and has the advantage of being more sensitive and less time-consuming than the conventional immunodiffusion technique.
