Abstract
An ELISA was developed to detect antibodies to a Type D retrovirus, SRV-W. The interpretation of the ELISA results were based on: 1) Comparisons of known antibody positive (to a closely related type D retrovirus) and negative serum samples, 2) the ability of ELISA reactivity to be absorbed with a Type D virus but not a mock virus preparation, and 3) analysis by a Western Blot assay as an alterative way to identify antibody to the Type D retrovirus.Keywords
