ANNEX III U.K. Standards for Aujeszky's disease serological tests — Protocol for the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting antibodies to Aujeszky's disease virus (whole virus), to glycoprotein B (ADV-gB), to glycoprotein D (ADV-gD) or to glycoprotein E (ADV-gE)

1. The institutes listed in paragraph 2(d) shall evaluate Elisa ADV-gE tests and kits against the criteria in paragraph 2(a), (b) and (c). The competent authority in each Member State shall ensure that only Elisa ADV-gE kits that meet these standards shall be registered. The examinations listed in 2(a) and (b) must be carried out prior to approval of the test and the examination in 2(c), at least, must thereafter be carried out on each batch. U.K.

2. Standardisation, sensitivity and specificity of the test. U.K.

(a)

The sensitivity of the test must be of such a level that the following Community reference sera are scored positive:

• Community reference serum ADV 1 at 1:8 dilution,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE A,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE B,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE C,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE D,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE E,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE F.

(b)

The specificity of the test must be of such a level that the following Community reference sera are scored negative:

• Community reference serum ADV-gE G,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE H,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE J,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE K,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE L,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE M,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE N,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE O,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE P,

• Community reference serum ADV-gE Q.

(c)

For batch control, Community reference serum ADV 1 must be scored positive at 1:8 dilution and one of the Community reference serum sera from ADV-gE G to ADV-gE Q, as listed in point (b), must be scored negative.

For batch control of ADV-gB and ADV-gD kits, Community reference serum ADV 1 must be scored positive at the dilution of 1:2 and Community reference serum Q referred to in (b) should be scored negative.

(d)

[F2 The institutes listed below will, in addition, be responsible for checking the quality of the ELISA method in each Member State, and in particular for producing and standardising national reference sera according to the Community reference sera.
