Improved Sensitivity of the IPV/IBR Virus-Serum Neutralization Test

Abstract

The serum neutralization (SN) test is still the most important method for the demonstration of infectious pustular vulvovaginitis/infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IPV/IBR) antibodies. However, several authors have reported a relatively low sensitivity of the SN test, titers often being very low.
