This quantitative indirect immunoenzyme technique uses rabbit antiserum to bovine IgG conjugated to alkaline phosphatase, and bovine oncovirus antigen adsorbed to PVC slips. Of six serum samples from cattle, five were positive. The weakest positive reaction was confirmed by the leukocyte adherence inhibition test and by the syncytium test, but the immunodiffusion test was negative. Further work is needed to increase the specificity of the test.
