Abstract

The conditions of a rapid, indirect-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) antibodies have been established. Optimal sensitivity was obtained using 10 micrograms/ml protein concentration of the Mass 41 strain purified from infected allantoic fluid. Specificity was demonstrated with Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) antigen-antibody system. Negligible crossreactions were observed. After bromelain or lipase treatment IBV had an ELISA reactivity similar to untreated particles suggesting that peripheral constituents of IBV play a minor role when whole virus is absorbed on solid phase. The method offers a simple and specific antibody assay which could be used for the laboratory diagnosis of avian infectious bronchitis.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
