- 27. Haemagglutination test andhaemagglutination inhibition test. The serum from pig "A" contains no antibodies to influenza, which is why haemagglutination occurs. The serum from pig "B" contains influenza antibodies, so agglutination is inhibited.
- 28. The basis ofHI assay - antibodies to influenza virus will prevent attachment of the virus to red blood cells. Therefore hemagglutination is inhibited when antibodies are present. The highest dilution of serum that prevents hemagglutination is called the HI titre
- 29. SEROLOGY • CFT • HAI •4 fold rise in titre of Ab between convalascnt and Acute phase Results of a haemagglutination inhibition test. The antibody titer is 1:80.
- 30. IMMUNITY • 1 strainattack – 1- 2 years protection • Doctrine of Original Antigenic Sin When the body first encounters an infection it produces effective antibodies against its dominant antigens and thus eliminates the infection. But when it encounters the same infection, at a later evolved stage, with a new dominant antigen, with the original antigen now being recessive, the immune system will still produce the former antibodies against this old "now recessive antigen" and not develop new antibodies against the new dominant one, this results in the production of ineffective antibodies and thus a weak immunity.
