The sensitivity of a newly developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of antibody to K virus was compared with the sensitivities of an immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and a hemagglutination inhibition assay (HIA). Specific pathogen-free BALB/c RIVM mice, 5 weeks old, were inoculated intraperitoneally with a mouse organ suspension containing 10(4.5) TCID50 of K virus per dose. Control animals were inoculated with a control mouse organ suspension. No clinical signs were observed during the 7 weeks they were followed for the development of serum antibody. The ELISA proved to be the most sensitive of the three assays and demonstrated K virus-specific antibodies as early as 3 days after infection.
