Plaque reduction neutralization test for the assay of antibodies against foot-and-mouth disease: brief report
(PAHO, 1976)
The plaque reduction neutralization (PRN) test for the study of foot-and-mouth disease was described by McVicar et al. (4). They used secondary bovine kidney cell cultures grown for 6 days in disposable plastic plates and ...
Prevalence of antibodies against foot-and-mouth disease virus-infection-associated antigen (VIA) in cattle of the Paraguayan Chaco
(PAHO, 1976)
[Introduction] The present work evaluates the usefulness of the VIA test in detecting past FMDV infections in large cattle populations.
Influence of the degree of dispersion in the aqueous phase on the immunogenicity of oil-adjuvanted foot-and-mouth disease vaccine
(PAHO, 1980)
Both primary emulsion (water-in-oil) and double emulsion (water-in-oil-water) foot-and-mouth disease vaccines with different viscosities produced exellent persistent levels of neutralizing antibodies. The degree of dispersion ...

(PAHO, 1978)
[Introduction] The present paper reports some forther studies on the intraperitoneal vaccination of young pigs with oil adjuvanted double emulsion FMD vaccines containing different quantities of antigen and adjuvant.
Foot-and-Mouth disease vaccines. I. Comparison of vaccines prepared from virus inactivated with formalin and adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide gel with saponin and virus inactivated with acetylethyleneimine and emulsified with incomplete Freund’s adjuvant
(PAHO, 1975)
[Introduction] A series of cooperative studies by PIADC and the Pan American Foot-and-Mouth Disease Center (PAFMDC) was undertaken in the isolation units at PAFMDC in Rio de Janeiro in an effort to determine the value of ...
The effect of merthiolate on the inmunogenicity of foot-and-mouth disease virus antigens
(PAHO, 1977)
Merthiolate is commonly used as a preservative in commercial inactivated foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccines. However, experiments with inactivated poliomyelitis vaccines have shown that degradation products of merthiolate ...

Immunobiological functions of the complement system
(PAHO, 1977)
[Introduction] Up to 1926, only 4 components were recognized in the complement system and almost nothing was known concerning its immunobioloical functions, besides specific hemolysis and bacteriolysis. Today, 11 proteins ...
