ABSTRACT
The active coexistence of two pathogenic arenaviruses, Junin (JUNV) and lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV), in the same region of Argentina, has been known since the early 70’s, and records of clinical and subclinical human infections by one and/or the other agent have been continuously produced for the last 25 years. Anti-LCMV antibody is currently searched only by indirect immunofluorescence, a test that shows cross reactions among a number of arenaviruses yielding, in the cases of LCMV and JUNV consecutive infections, a concomitant seroconversion for both viruses, as an inconclusive diagnostic result. In contrast, neutralization (NT) tests reveal arenavirus antibodies directed to unique epitopes on these virus envelopes, thus allowing to disclose the sequence in the cases of consecutive infections. In this paper, the characteristics of neutralization (NT) test for LCMV in cell cultures are described, as well as its performance in the field diagnosis of LCMV human infections. The native LCMV strain Cba An 13065 was inoculated on L-929 cell (ATCC CCL 1), and procedures were followed to perform a constant virus-variable serum NT test. Final points of sera titrations were expressed as the maximal serum dilution that yielded 75
