    This study introduces a novel method for quantifying virus serotype relationships using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and regression analysis. The technique reliably distinguishes between closely related virus serotypes, offering a reproducible approach for viral classification.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Immunology
    • Biostatistics

    Background:

    • Accurate discrimination among virus serotypes is crucial for understanding viral evolution and disease transmission.
    • Existing methods for serotype comparison may lack the precision to differentiate closely related strains.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a quantitative method for measuring relationships among virus serotypes.
    • To assess the technique's ability to discriminate between closely related viral strains.

    Main Methods:

    • An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to generate antibody-response curves for various virus-antibody combinations.
    • Logarithmic transformation of data from the proportional response region was performed, followed by regression analysis to determine relative antibody titres.

  • Serotype Discrimination Index (SDI) values were calculated based on the mean difference between homologous and reciprocal heterologous relative titres.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed method yielded consistent and reproducible relative titres across multiple experiments.
    • The technique demonstrated a high degree of reliability in discriminating among virus serotypes, distinguishing differences as small as 0.2 SDI.
    • Application to two distinct groups of virus models confirmed the method's efficacy.

    Conclusions:

    • The described regression analysis method, utilizing ELISA data, provides a reliable and reproducible means for quantifying relationships among virus serotypes.
    • This quantitative approach enables precise differentiation of closely related serotypes, advancing viral classification and epidemiological studies.
