Deck 7 Flashcards
(15 cards)
Principle of Virus neutralisation test (VNT):
Highly specific test based on the neutralization of virus by specific antibodies in the serum tested.
- Cytopathic effect of the virus in cell culture is blocked.
- Performed in tubes or microtitre plates.
- Positive serum contains specific antibodies that neutralized virus and therefore the virus cannot damage the cells (CPE).
- Negative serum, no antibodies, virus not neutralized and can cause cytopathic effect.
PCR components ?
Template DNA, nucleotides, primers, buffers, DNA polymerase, thermocycler.
Rabies way of transmission:
Primarily through saliva, bite wounds or infected saliva entering an open cut or wound or mucus membrane. Sources of virus is saliva and brain tissue. Occasionally by infected aerosol or oral.
