A collaborative assay of mycoplasma reference antisera. A total of 29 Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma antiserum reagents produced in mules and horses by the Baltimore Biological Laboratory and by Huntingdon Research Centre, under the auspices of National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, USA, were tested for potency and specificity, by a great variety of serological techniques, at the FAO/WHO Collaborating centre for Animal Mycoplasmas, University of Aarhus, Denmark. Subsequently, the antisera were subjected to a collaborative assay in which 20 workers from 15 different laboratories participated under the auspices of the International Research Programme ...
Comparison of SN and HI antibody dose response curves in chickens, rabbits, foals and horses following vaccination with equine influenza vaccine. After vaccination of chickens, rabbits, foals and horses, HI and SN antibody dose response curves were compared for A/Equi 1/Prague and A/Equi 2/Paris strains.
The two curves are parallel for a given strain and the relationship of HI and SN titres is constant, whatever the animal species.
The distribution of HI and SN titres varies for the two strains.
This variation, which is independent of animal species, may be related to the number of sites necessary for the antigenic-antibody response in vitro.
It is suggested that the testing of equine influenza vaccine be carried out in the ...
