| | | Previous serological studies conducted in Ibadan indicated that these isolates were unrelated by CF to any viruses held at the Ibadan laboratory [2] . | | Subsequently, 1:8 and 1:32 dilutions of a CF antigen for the IbAn 57245 strain (homologous titer = 256/64) were tested against and failed to react with a 1:4 dilution of the following NIH grouping fluids: Polyvalent Palyam (PAL, VEL, KAS, COR, ACD, EUB, PATA, DAG); Gr. Kemerovo; Polyvalent no. 8 (BLU, EHD, CGL, IRI, CTF, IbAr 22619). In addition, CF antigen and antibody for IbAn 57245 failed to react with systems for Eyach virus (256/>128), 5 strains of Orungo virus (32/64 to 256/32), Mitchell River virus (32/>32), Warrego virus (>256/>32), Japanaut virus (8/2), Lebombo virus (32/>32), and IbAr 39626 (256/>128). CF antigen for IbAn 57245 did not react with antibody to reovirus, type 3 (titer = 64). Umatilla rabbit antiserum (LNI = 3.0) did not neutralize Ife virus. YV177 virus (64/32), isolated from Eidolon helvum bats collected in Cameroun, reacted indistinguishably in CF with Ife virus and was considered to be a strain of Ife virus. | | |
