Figure 3

Serial dilution curves of a panel of reindeer serum samples tested in three commercial bovine ELISA kits for detection of alphaherpesvirus antibodies. Four samples were selected to illustrate different situations: Serum samples 24 and FA16 were seropositive in all kits; serum sample FA15 was found to be doubtful in Kit B and seronegative in Kits A and C; serum sample FB15 was classified negative in all kits. The positive and negative cattle sera controls from Kits B and C were also titrated. In Kit A there were no controls, but water was tested as a negative control. 3A, 3B and 3C displays Kits A, B and C serial dilutions respectively. In Figure 3A a continuous bold line (—) indicates the cut-off value for Kit A (0.00). In Figures 3B and 3C a continuous bold line (—) indicates the upper cut-off value for the kits (60% for Kit B and 50% for Kit C) while a dotted bold line (···) indicates the lower cut-off values (45% for both kits).
