Abstract:
To study the correlation between ELISA and IFA tests in detection of ALV-A/B antibody in chicken sera, ELSA S/P values and IFA titers for different serum samples were measured and statistically analyzed. The results indicated that there was a strong positive correlation between ELISA S/P values and IFA titers (r = 0.97435, P < 0.001). Because the positive correlation between ELISA and IFA was so strong and antibody positive rates were identical in two tests, it suggested that IFA could be used as a alternative method to replace ELISA kit when only limited numbers of samples to be tested to reduce the cost and increase the sensitivity.
