Simplified plaque reduction neutralization assay for dengue viruses by semimicro methods in BHK-21 cells: comparison of the BHK suspension test with standard plaque reduction neutralization.
A newly modified semimicro plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) in BHK cells was compared with a standard PRNT in bottles with LLC-MK2 monolayers and with an LLC-MK2 PRNT adapted to semimicro methods. The BHK semimicro PRNT compared favorably in terms of sensitivity in detecting dengue antibody (96%), specificity at a screening dilution (95%), and ability to detect seroconversion to deng...
متن کاملVaricella-zoster plaque assay and plaque reduction neutralization test by the immunoperoxidase technique.
A new plaque assay for the quantitation of varicella-zoster virus and a plaque reduction neutralization test for the determination of neutralizing antibody titer have been developed using the indirect immunoperoxidase technique. As compared with the classical plaque assay using a solid overlay, the test gives earlier results since plaque counting can be performed on day 3 after the inoculation ...
متن کاملEvaluation of chimeric Japanese encephalitis and dengue viruses for use in diagnostic plaque reduction neutralization tests.
The plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) is a specific serological test used to identify and confirm arbovirus infection in diagnostic laboratories and monitor immunological protection in vaccine recipients. Wild-type (wt) viruses used in the PRNT may be difficult to grow and plaque titrate, such as the dengue viruses (DENV), and/or may require biosafety level 3 (BSL3) containment, such ...
متن کاملGuidelines for Plaque-Reduction Neutralization Testing of Human Antibodies to Dengue Viruses.
Through the Advisory Committee on Dengue and other Flavivirus Vaccines, the World Health Organization(WHO) has had a long-standing commitment to facilitate and to guide research and development of vaccines for medically important flaviviruses. Recently, the Paediatric Dengue Vaccine Initiative (PDVI) was formed to accelerate the development, testing, and introduction of dengue (DEN)vaccines wor...
متن کاملA Seroprevalence Survey of Dengue Virus Infection in Healthy Singapore University Undergraduates by Enzyme Immunoassay and Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test
A seroepidemiological survey was conducted from 1998 to 2000 to determine the seroprevalence of dengue virus infection in a cohort of healthy Singapore university undergraduates aged 19-26 years using a commercial dengue indirect IgG enzyme immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (PanBio). Out of 184 volunteers, 41 (22%) tested seropositive, suggesting that 78% of this young cohort would be susceptible...
