| | | Six strains were shown to be identical by cross-CF tests: AG80-226, AG80-517, AG80-785, AG80-1545, AG80-381, and AG80-504. AG80-226 (sucrose-acetone antigen) tested by CF with a battery of HIAF containing antibodies to more than 300 arboviruses and other viruses; no reactions were detected. No inhibition of hemagglutination was detected in HI tests employing HIAF for AG80-226 and antigens of viruses belonging to serogroups A, B, C, Bunyamwera , Turlock, California, and Phlebotomus fever [1] . | | NT tests were performed with five of these six isolates (AG80-785 = AG80-1545). The results (shown below) demonstrate that, although interrelated, AG80-226, AG80-504 and AG80-381 are distinct from each other, that AG80-785 is identical with AG80-504 and that AG80-517 is a subtype of AG80-504 (1). | | | | PRNT titer of antibody to: |
