Infectious bronchitis agar-gel precipitin test--use of infected allantoic fluid as antigen.

The use of infected allantoic fluid (AF) as precipitating infectious bronchitis (IB) antigen was investigated. The results show that unconcentrated AF harvested at the right time can be a very satisfactory precipitating IB antigen. With the majority of the virus strains used, unconcentrated AF, harvested 68 hours postinoculation (PI), showed more precipitating activity than that harvested at 20 or 120 hours PI. If further antigen concentration is required, dialysis with polyethyleneglycol MW 20,000, freeze-drying, and precipitation with polyethyleneglycol 6,000 are satisfactory methods of concentration.

Regression of cetacean tattoo lesions concurrent with conversion of precipitin antibody against a poxvirus.

Tattoo lesions linked to the cetacean poxvirus of bottlenose dolphins regressed without treatment. Two types of regression were observed: (1) The tattoo lesions became raised and blanched, then disappeared along with sloughing skin. (2) When an incision was made through a tattoo lesion, the tattoo disappeared in a zone around the incision. Poxviruses removed from the raised, blanched skin lesions and from typical tattoo lesions were reacted with dolphin serums and examined by immunoelectron microscopy. Antibody was not detected against either of these poxvirus preparations when the dolphins had only typical tattoo lesions. However, after the raised, blanched lesions appeared, serums obtained during the acute or convalescent stages were positive for the poxvirus separated from the lesions. Regression of the typical tattoo lesions was concurrent with antibody conversion.
