| No antigenic relationship was detected by complement-fixation or neutraliza- tion tests between MRM14556 antigen or antiserum and the following arboviruses or suspected arboviruses isolated or available in Australia: Group A (Sindbis, Ross River, Getah, Bebaru); Group B (Murray Valley encephalitis, Kunjin, Kokobera, Edge Hill, Stratford, Alfuy, JBE, SLE, dengue types 1, 2, 3, and 4); Koongol group (Koongol, Wongal); Mapputta group (Mapputta, Trubanaman); Quaranfil group (Abal); Simbu group (Akabane, Aino (Samford)); Corriparta group (Corriparta); Eubenangee group (Eubenangee); Warrego group (Warrego, Mitchell River); others (Kowanyama, Almpiwar, Upolu, ephemeral fever, Belmont, Charleville, Wallal and Wongorr). Antiserum to MK7532 (Mapputta group) repeatedly fixed complement with MRM14556 antigen but to low titre; further studies are needed. | |
