Abstract
Acid precipitated and detergent treated Newcastle disease virus ( ND V) antigen was
prepared and characterised using the agar gel precipitation (AGP) test. The detergent
treated NDV antigen was used to screen antibodies to NDV and the results
compared with the conventional haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test titres.
AGP test could detect NDV antibodies in serum samples when the corresponding
HI titres were 1:8 and above. Detergent treatment of Newcastle disease virus
greatly reduced its haemagglutinating ability. Simultaneous detection of antibodies
to NDV and infectious bursal disease virus in AGP test was attempted and found
successful.
