The use of the haemagglutination-inhibition test for detecting antibodies to type SAT 2 foot-and-mouth disease viruses in cattle sera.

Two strains of type SAT 2-foot-and-mouth disease virus which gave high titres of haemagglutinin activity reacted type-specifically in direct haemagglutination-inhibition tests with reference, bovine convalescent antisera. Comparisons of the haemagglutination-inhibition and the serum neutralization tests using cattle sera showed that both were equally specific and sensitive for detecting virus antibody.

Hypersensitivity in cattle after foot-and-mouth disease vaccination: response to hydroxpropylmethylcellulose.

Intravenous provocation (IVP) tests demonstrated that hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (MC) was able to elicit anaphylactic signs in cattle vaccinated with foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccine produced at one centre but not with similar vaccine produced at another. The former vaccine also provoked serum reagins which were demonstrated by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) tests in goats. Reaginic sera which reacted specifically with MC were used in PCA tests to screen samples taken serially from the vaccine production lines. The reactions observed suggested that a substance with MC or similar specificity was present in the antifoaming agent routinely added to vaccines.

Reaginic antibody in cattle hypersensitised by foot-and-mouth disease vaccine.

The passive cutaneous anaphylaxis test (PCAT) in calves and goats was used to demonstrate reaginic antibody in the sera of cattle which had shown anaphylaxis following injection with foot-and-mouth disease vaccine. A period of two or three days between the intracutaneous injection of test sera and the intracutaneous or intravenous challenge with components of vaccine was found to be satisfactory. Positive reactions were obtained in calves for up to 49 days but many goats failed to react after eight days. The PCAT had a high degree of reproducibility within any one test animal, but a marked variation was found between individual test animals.
