| Hantaan virus has been tested against the following NIAID reagent polyvalent antisera by indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) tests utilizing strain 76-118 infected A-549 cells as substrate. All sera were negative (<1:10) unless otherwise indicated. Group C (Lot 2); GMA gr.; SIM gr.; VSV gr.; BUN gr.; CALgr.; TCR gr.; PHL gr.; polyvalent QRF, KSO, QYB, polyvalent grs. ANA, ANB, TUR; polyvalent BWA, MOS, NDO; polyvalent PAT; CAP gr.; polyvalent PAL, COR, EUB; KEM gr.; polyvalent CON, NSD; polyvalents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12; polyvalent rabies, LCM, NDV, herpes, vaccinia; coronavirus (OC-43) and coronavirus (229E). | A weak atypical reaction was repeatedly observed at a 1:20 dilution of the Bunyamwera Group polyvalent MIAF. The following antisera prepared against individual BUN group viruses were tested by IFA with negative results (<1:10): | |

| Of 161 monovalent HIAF raised against viruses of the Bunyaviridae, only the fluid to Anhembi virus reacted by IFA, at a titer of 16, to Hantaan virus [34] . | In addition, a polyvalent monkey anti Lassa-Machupo-Junin serum prepared at USAMRIID titered <10 as did anti-RVF rabbit serum and anti-Congo and anti- Hazara mouse serum. Direct conjugates of polyvalent group A (Alphaviruses) and polyvalent group B (Flavi) were also negative. Similarly, human convalescent sera from Machupo, Lassa, Marburg, and Ebola infections provided by Dr. Karl Johnson were negative when tested by IFA against strain 76-118 infected Apodemus lung sections. | The following virus complement-fixation (CF) antigens were tested by Dr. Robert Shope, YARU against two human KHF convalescent antisera. All CF tests were negative (<8). The human sera had Hantaan IFA titers of 320 and 640.
