| Abstract: | An indirect, sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for the laboratory diagnosis of vesicular stomatitis (VS). The assay which uses rabbit and guinea-pig antisera to the purified glycoprotein antigens of Serotypes New Jersey (VSV-NJ) and Indiana (VSV-IND-1), has both high sensitivity and specificity, but has lower reactivity for the two other Indiana subtypes VSV-IND-2 and VSV-IND-3. |
