2. MVPK cell cultures was done. Cytopathic effect was
seen in cell line.
1. Cell Culture
2. Animal
Inoculation
Rectal temperatures increases within 24 hours of
inoculation. Vesicular Lesions appeared at
inoculation sites by 48 h PI or if the first vesicle on
an animal Appeared at a primary site by 72 h
PI and a febrile response preceded the Lesion by
no more than 24h.
Cytopathic effect

3. Complement
Fixation test
A standard CF test (15) was done, round-bottom, plastic,
microtiter plates. Four hemolytic units of complement
were used in the test and antigen titrations were
conducted in triplicate. Antigen was reacted for 30 min
with diluted test sera at 370 C. Sensitized sheep red
blood cells were incubated with the reactants for 45 min
at 37°C with agitation. Plates were centrifuged at 600 x
g for 5 min prior to reading the amount of hemolysis.
Serum neutralization tests were conducted using
the 12 convalescent antisera to VES virus. Virus
neutralization indices (VNI) were calculated by
using the system Used for SN but with a
constant1/10 Serum dilution and varying tenfold
Dilutions of virus. Neutralization indices for the sera
were expressed as logio of virus neutralized.
