Rapid identification of 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus using
fluorescent antibody methods.
Total number of samples from Iraq and Afghanistan testing positive for rabies which were identified at the Veterinary Laboratory Europe using
fluorescent antibody identification, from 2004 through October 2008.
The long incubation time for culture and the low specificity of direct
fluorescent antibody have driven the detection method in use to DNA amplification method for its increased sensitivity and quick turnaround time.
Protocol for postmortem diagnosis of rabies in animals by direct
fluorescent antibody testing: a minimum standard for rabies diagnosis in the United States [cited 2009 Mar 31].
Rapid influenza tests, respiratory
fluorescent antibody tests, and viral cultures may not provide a diagnosis.
22) The virology laboratory instituted a cytospin
fluorescent antibody assay with pooled fluorescent antisera to influenza A and B viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza viruses 1 to 3 and adenovirus (Imogen respiratory screen, DAKO Diagnostics Ltd.
For titration of rabies antibodies, the
fluorescent antibody virus neutralization test and the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test are the only methods approved by WHO and OIE (35).

fluorescent antibody (DFA)
To investigate the presence of Lagos bat virus (LBV)-specific antibodies in megachiroptera from West Africa, we conducted
fluorescent antibody virus neutralization tests.
871XX=Cytomegalovirus direct
fluorescent antibody (DFA)
Serology by indirect
fluorescent antibody assay (IFA) was performed as reported elsewhere (11) on the supernatant extracted from a cardiac blood clot from each cow.
Rapid identification methods directly applicable to clinical specimens include
fluorescent antibody tests (for Bacteroides, pertussis, Legionella); enzyme immunoassays (N.
An indirect
fluorescent antibody test for the detection of antibody to swine infertility and respiratory syndrome virus in swine sera.
Samples of human brain tissue were analyzed for rabies virus by using the
fluorescent antibody test (8), the rabies tissue culture inoculation test, and the mouse inoculation test (9).
CHIKV-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM were tested in acute- and convalescent-phase sera by an indirect
fluorescent antibody test with a hyperimmune mouse ascitic fluid prepared against CHIKV Ross strain in conjunction with a fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated goat anti-human IgG (Fluoline G, bioMerieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) as previously described (22).
