Detection of Avian Influenza H5-Specific Antibodies by Chemiluminescent Assays
Ana Citlali Márquez, Saina Beitari, Tahereh Valadbeigy, Linda Hoang, Yohannes Berhane, Agatha N Jassem
We evaluated 2 electrochemiluminescence serologic assays to detect avian influenza H5 antibodies. Both assays identified H5 antibodies from both serum and dried blood spots and had strong specificity and minimal cross-reactivity in human and avian samples. Such assays can support populationwide serologic surveys aimed at assessing population-level immunity.
Keywords: Canada; H5N1; avian influenza; immunoassays; influenza; serology; viruses.
