Development of MN-ELISA using Indian strain of CHPV to detect Nabs to CHPV. MN-ELISA gives read-out in the form of optical density values and has a shorter TAT. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the new test was 100% when compared with the conventional MN-CPE method. New assay detects very minute difference in Nab titer and also low-titer sero-conversion. MN-ELISA; a better alternative to the conventional MN-CPE in sero-surveillance and in future vaccine studies.
