Abstract
A dot immunobinding assay (DIA) was developed for the detection of antibody against bovid herpesvirus-4 (BHV-4) in bovine sera. A semipurified virus preparation was used as the antigen and an anti-species horseradish peroxidase-labeled IgG and diaminobenzidine were employed as the detection system. The sensitivity and specificity of the DIA were similar to those of indirect fluorescent antibody test, indicating the suitability of DIA as a rapid field test for the detection of anti-BHV-4 antibodies in cattle.
