Trials for preparation and evaluation of peroxidase and fluorescent isothiocyanate conjugated antisera against equine herpesvirus-1.

Abstract: A preliminary study was conducted to prepare a polyclonal antibody against local strain of equine herpsvirus-1 (EHV-1), labeled with horseradish peroxidase and fluorescein isothiocynate. The prepared antiserum in rabbit was conjugated by the most cheaper and easier method (periodate method). It was divided into two parts ; the first one was conjugated with peroxidase which gave strong positive reaction at dilution of 1/2000. The second part was conjugated fluorescin isothiocyanate which give the strongest positive reaction at dilution of 1/4000. Both conjugates were succeeded to show its efficiency and liability for detecting EHV-1 when tested against field- samples within its test proper.
