PP results of analytical specificity (ASp) for HeV-G and HeV-N assays with 17 sera from different species containing antibodies against different paramyxoviruses. Positive results are printed in red, including one horse anti-parainfluenza Type 3 virus and one horse anti-mumps-virus serum when developed with the anti-horse conjugate, and one rabbit anti-Mossman-virus serum when developed with Protein A/G. n.a.—not available.
