Neutralizing Antibodies to Bovine Herpesvirus 1 in Reindeer

Neutraliserande antikroppar mot Bovine Herpes Virus 1 hos renar

Abstract

Serum samples from cattle and reindeer in Lapland were examined for neutralizing antibodies to the IBR/IPV virus. All the bovine sera tested were negative. The reindeer sera were tested using 2 different virus neutralization methods differing in the serum-virus incubation time prior to inoculation into tissue culture tubes. 12.6 % of the samples tested with a preincubation of 1 h at 37°C were positive, whereas 23 % of those tested with a preincubation time of 24 h at 37°C were positive. The fairly high prevalence of antibodies to IBR/IPV in the reindeer population in Finland indicates the occurrence of the IBR/IPV virus or a closely related cross-reacting herpesvirus.

Sammandrag

Serum prov från nöt och renar har undersökts med avseende på neutraliserande antikroppar mot IBR/IPV virus. Alia testade nötserum var negativa. Renserumen testades med två olika virus neutralisations-test som skiljde sig beträf fan de serum-virusinkubationstiden före ino-kuleringen i cellkulturrör. 12,6 % a ν proven som testades med en preinkuberingstid om en timme vid 37 °C (P 37°G 1 t) var positiva. Utav de sera som testades med en preinkuberingstid om 24 timmar (P 37°C 24 t) var 23 % positiva. Den rätt höga frekvensen av antikroppar mot IBR°IPV viruset kan tyda på att viruset eller ett när-besläktat korsreagerande herpes virus förekommer inom renpopula-tionen i Finland.
