| Abstract | Despite preexisting immunity to pseudorabies virus (PRV), pigs may become infected and may or may not show clinical signs of disease. To investigate whether detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to PRV is suitable for diagnosis of recent infection in pigs with (or without) preexisting immunity, the IgM responses of pigs were examined after both experimental and natural infections. Upon inoculation of seronegative pigs with a low dose of a mildly virulent strain of PRV, IgM was first detectable at day 7 postinoculation (p.i.), reached a maximum at day 14 p.i., and became undetectable again at about days 32 to 36 p.i. In inoculated pigs with maternal antibodies against PRV, the IgM response began later and ended sooner, and peak titers were also lower. In immune pigs with maternally derived antibodies, there was apparently no correlation between the virulence of the inoculated strain and the IgM response. The suitability of the IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of recent infection in the field was compared with that of the virus neutralization (VN) assay and with an ELISA which specifically detects antibodies directed to glycoprotein I (gI) of PRV. Paired sera were obtained from pigs suspected of PRV infection in an area endemic for PRV infection in which vaccination against PRV is often applied. Practically all pigs had antibodies to PRV in the acute phase of the disease. Compared with the VN assay, the specificity of the IgM ELISA was high but its sensitivity was low. However, all three serotests apparently failed to detect some PRV infections. The IgM ELISA appeared to be especially useful as a diagnostic aid for detection of recent infections in pigs with high levels of neutralizing and gI antibodies, probably maternally derived, in the acute phase of the disease. Such pigs may fail to develop a significant rise in VN antibody titer. The IgM ELISA may be the only serotest for monitoring infections in such pigs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
