Section V - Antigenic Relationship and Lack of Relationship to Other Viruses
Malakal hyperimmune mouse serum tested by CF with 197 antigens of arboviruses and other viral pathogens of mice with negative results except for Puchong (P5-350) antigen. CF relationship with Puchong was as follows:
Antigen
Puchong Serum
Malakal Mouse Ascitic fluid
*
Antibody titer/antigen titer
Puchong
64/256
*
128/64
Malakal
8/128
> 512/256
Normal
0/0
8/4
These tests were done at the Yale Arbovirus Research Unit. Malakal and Puchong viruses form a serogroup. In cross-neutralization tests the 2 viruses are distinct (see Puchong virus registration).
Malakal hyperimmune serum was negative in HI tests with 19 antigens and negative in CF tests with 33 viruses indigenous to Africa [1] .
