The potency of vaccines against Japanese encephalitis (JE) is usually determined by a mouse challenge test. In the present study, an antigen capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) was used to screen inactivated tissue culture JE vaccine lots. This test is simple, quick and reliable besides being very sensitive and specific.
