Virus isolation
|
release virus from tissue sample, culture on appropriate cell line, observe for cytopathic effect
|
|
Direct Fluorescent Ab test
|
antiviral Ab labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate
Ab applied directly to frozen tissue, smears, cell culture. fluorescence under UV light=presence of viral Ag |
|
Indirect fluorescent Ab test
sames FA |
same as FA but 2-step procedure
1st Ab unlabeleds, 2nd Ab labeld with FITC |
|
Indirect fluroescent characterisitc advantages
|
signal amplificaiton
|
|
Hemagglutination inhibition
|
some viruses hemagglutinate red blood cells (HA test)
Presence of AB inhibits hemagglutination |
|
Hemagglutination Inhibition
|
Some viruses hemagllutinate red blood cells ( HA)
presence of antibody inhibits hemagglutination |
|
Hemagglutination inhibition interpretation
|
presence of hemagglutination = presence of antibody
absence of hemagllutination = presence of antibody |
|
Serum neutralization principle
|
Antibody in serum binds to virus. Ab-bound virus unable to infect cells.
|
|
Serum neutralization interpretation
|
absence of cpe = presence of Ab
Titer = highest dilution preventing cpe, if all cells destroyed, no Ag present |
|
Enzyme linked immunosorbent Assay
|
color reaction if AB bound to plate
|
|
Agar gel immunodiffusion
|
line of precipitation formed with positive Ab.
AG in center well |
|
Egg Inoculation
|
Chorioallantoic membrane (CAM
Yolk sac allantoic sac intravenous |
|
negative contrast EM
|
sample homogenized
debris removed, virus pelleted stained with phosphotungstic acid |
