Abstract
Microneutralization tests for detection of antibody in bovine serum to three bovine viruses are described. The Madin-Darby bovine kidney cell line was used with parainfluenza 3 virus (PI 3), whereas serially cultivated bovine embryonic kidney cells were used for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and bovine virus diarrhea virus. Comparison of micro-hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) with micro-serum-neutralization (SN) tests for PI 3 showed the SN test to be more sensitive, more specific, and therefore more useful than the HI test for detecting antibody. Although the effect of trypsin-periodate treatment of serum was to reduce the HI titer of numerous sera by a twofold dilution, sufficient evidence could not be found to indicate that nonspecific HI inhibitors to PI 3 are present in bovine sera.
