Abstract – Haemagglutination-inhibition technique…

Abstract:

A simple and rapid serological method for the definitive diagnosis of rinderpest-specific antibody is described. The technique is based on adsorbing out the cross reacting antibodies to peste des petits ruminants antigens from a rinderpest immune serum, thereby leaving active the specific antibody to rinderpest which is determined by haemagglutination-inhibition test.
