Abstract: | Convalescent levels of influenza antibodies were demonstrated by an agar gel precipitin (AGP) test in turkey sera after field out-breaks. The AGP test was positive with chicken sera for at least 8 weeks after laboratory exposure to any of 3 influenza strains, and positive with turkey sera for at least 12 weeks after exposure. The AGP test facilitates a diagnosis of avian influenza using a suspect virus or paired sera without the influences of strain-to-strain antigenic differences, which limit the usefulness of the hemagglutination-inhibition test. |
