Results of in-house CFT vs. CIRAD CFT from sera of Panel 2. Humoral immune response of animals from Panel 2 (Short-term Afadé trial) as characterised by in-house CFT and CIRAD CFT. End-point titres of both CFTs are shown at different time points of infection.

Examination of Panel 2 sera using cELISA. Humoral immune response of animals from Panel 2 (Short-term Afadé trial) characterised by cELISA. The percentage inhibition value (INH%) for each serum sample was calculated using the formula: INH% = (ODmab - ODsample)/(ODmab - ODconjugate) × 100%, ODmab = Control only with monoclonal antibody and without serum (0% inhibition), ODsample = OD of the serum sample, ODconjugate = Control without monoclonal antibody and serum (100% inhibition). The cut-off for positive samples was set at INH% of 50%. Sera with an inhibition value between 40% and 50% were considered doubtful. All sera were examined in duplicate. ND = not done.
