Identification of serum and or CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) B virus specific antibody in humans:

Human serum and or CSF are tested via western blot (non-negative samples are confirmed by competition ELISA and recombinant Bvirus glycoprotein ELISA). Each serum sample is used for western blots with B virus, HSV-1, and HSV-2 and baseline serum is re-evaluated paired with convalescent or follow-up serum samples. All serum samples are maintained for future follow-up testing.

Identification of serum and or CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) antibody to B virus in macaques and other nonhuman primates:

NHP (nonhuman primate) serum and or CSF are tested via our standard titration ELISA and recombinant B virus ELISA with non-negative samples confirmed by western blot. Serum samples are banked for repeat testing if necessary.
