P. aEvaluation of agar gel immunodiffusion serology using caprine and ovine lentiviral antigens for detection of antibody to caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus.h[electronic resource] c1994 aThe sensity of the agar gel immunidifussion (AGID) test for the detection of antibody to caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV) was investigated with CAEV or ovine progressive pneumonia virus (OPPV) as the source of antigen. A total of 218 goat serum specimens were tested for anti-CAEV antibody by AGID and immunoprecipitation of [35S]methionine-labeled CAEV. In comparison with that of immuniprecipitation, the sensitivity of the CAEV AGID test was 0.91, and that of the OPPV AGID test 0.56. The AGID test with either antigen was 100% specific. The lower sensitivity of the OPPV AGID test in detecting caprine antibody to CAEV indicates that OPPV antigens is of limited value for use in CAEV diagnosis and control programs. aCaprine arthritis encephalitis virus aDisease diagnosis aGoat diseases aGoats aImmunodiffusion tests aImmunology aLentivirus aAntibodies viral aAntigenos aAvaliacao aEvaluation Studies as Topic aSensitivity and specificity aSorologia1 aEVERMANN, J.
