Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To confirm that jackdaws had not been exposed previously to WNV, the birds were bled before experimental infection and serum was tested for neutralizing antibodies using TCID50 neutralization assays. Serum was heat-inactivated at 56 °C for 30 min, serially diluted twofold and incubated with an equal volume of virus (strain NY99, originally isolated from a dead Chilean flamingo at the Bronx Zoo in New York, obtained from the Health Protection Agency, Porton Down, UK; P5 on Vero E6 cells; GenBank accession number AF196835.2) to a final concentration of 100 TCID50 per 0.1 ml. Samples were incubated at 37 °C for 1 h and subsequently added to an 80 % confluent monolayer of Vero E6 cells in CELLSTAR 96-well plates (Greiner Bio-One). Plates were incubated at 37 °C for 5 days. Samples were read and a 100 % reduction in cytopathic effect (CPE) as compared with the serum-negative control was used for the determination of neutralization. Detection of any neutralizing activity to WNV in the serum of any bird precluded its use for experimental inoculation.
