Single Radial Hemolysis Technique in Comparison with Indirect Hemagglutination and Agar Gel Precipitation tests for Assaying Antibodies against Infectious Bursal Disease Virus

The Relative Levels of Neutralizing and Precipitating Antibodies Against Infectious Bursal Disease Virus and Their Correlation with Resistance to a Highly Virulent Challenge Strain

Maternai antibodies, even at relatively high levels protecting against mortality and gross bursal les ions, appeared to be inadequate in preventing infection with a highly virulent infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) strain. A comparison between the sensitivity of a cell culture microtitre virus neutra/ization (VN) technique and a quantitative agar gel precipitation (QAGP) test, used to meas...

Seroprevalence of infectious bursal disease in non-vaccinated indigenous and exotic chickens on selected farms around Gaborone, Botswana.

Sera from nine out of 30 (30.0%) apparently healthy unvaccinated indigenous (Tswana) chickens had precipitating antibodies to infectious bursal disease (IBD) virus using the agar gel precipitation test. Similarly, sera from 11 out of 49 (22.4%) chickens of exotic breeds with no history of vaccination against IBD were positive for antibodies against the virus.

Comparison between Micro and Tube Virus Neutralization Tests for Detection of Serological Responses to Infectious Bursal Disease Virus Following Vaccination

Expression of the VP2 gene of classical D78 infectious bursal disease virus in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris as a secretory protein

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is the causative agent of Gumboro disease, an infectious disease of global economic importance in poultry. The expression of heterologous proteins in P.pastoris is fast, simple and inexpensive. In this study, VP2 encoding gene of classical D78 IBDV was amplified using reverse transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned into pPICZαA vector...
