RESUMO
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of cattle antibodies to bovine herpesvirus type 1 was developed on the basis of competition between serum antibody and a virus-neutralizing mouse monoclonal antibody. The assay showed improved sensitivity over the virus neutralization (VN) test and over an enhanced VN test in which incubation of antibody-virus mixtures was carried out for 24 h. With the ELISA, antibodies in sera from experimentally infected cattle were detected earlier after infection and showed more rapid increases in levels. A comparison of the ELISA with the VN tests by using a set of 85 field sera with low levels of antibodies demonstrated that the ELISA was the most sensitive test, detecting 10 positive serum samples that were negative by the VN tests. The ELISA was inexpensive, rapid, and highly reproducible and showed a significant improvement in sensitivity over VN tests.
