  • Title: Hemorrhagic enteritis: virus distribution and sequential development of antibody in turkeys.
    Author: Silim A, Thorsen J.
    Journal: Avian Dis; 1981; 25(2):444-53. PubMed ID: 6266390.
    Abstract:
    Turkeys poults were inoculated intraperitoneally with hemorrhagic enteritis virus (HEV) at 4-1/2 weeks of age. Antibody response and sequential development of viral antigen in various tissues were monitored. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to study antibody production, and immunoperoxidase staining was used to determined sites of localization of the viral antigens in tissues. Results of ELISA and immunodiffusion tests were compared. ELISA detected antibody from day 3 post-infection (p.i.), and gel diffusion detected antibody from day 5 p.i. Peak ELISA antibody titer appeared from day 14 p.i. HEV antigen was detected from 2-6 days p.i. in the spleen, liver, intestine, kidney, and bone marrow; peak titers in the spleen were on day 3 p.i. Virus was not detected after day 6 p.i.
