Section V - Antigenic Relationship and Lack of Relationship to Other Viruses

CF test - homologous titer = 512/64.

Institut Pasteur (Dakar) [2] : AnB 1292a antigen gave positive results with immune sera to Tete, Bahig and Matruh viruses and gave negative results with immune sera to other arboviruses that have been isolated in Africa.

Complement-fixation test:
	Antigens
Ascitic fluids	AnB 1292a	Tete	Bahig	Matruh


^* Maximum titer of antiserum/optimum titer of antigen: % = <4/<4.
AnB 1292a	512/64 ^*	512/128	64/128	32/128
Tete	512/64	256/128	0/0	16/128
