[Express method for diagnostics of enzootic encephalomyelitis (Teschen disease) in pigs].

Results of creating the home ELISA test-system for diagnostics of enzootic encephalomyelitis (Teschen disease) has been presented. Biological components of diagnosticums has been created and described, reaction stages have been optimized. Sensitivity of the test-system for identification of antibodies to PTV-1 averaged 93%, specificity--100%. In the "sandwich"-variant the strains may be classified as serotype 1.

Optimal methods of purification and concentration of teschevirus strain of the pigs of the first serotype "Chernigivsky-2372" have been chosen for development of the set of Teschen pig discase diagnosticums. It has been established that differential centrifugation with following ultracentrifugation in the gradient of saccharose density permits to deprive viruses from host cell proteins, empty virus capsides and defect virus particles. That is the method fit for purification of virus preparations for the solid-phase immunoenzyme analysis.

Strains of porcine enteroviruses (PEV) (n = 50), have been isolated from different animal species and environment objects: from pigs--19, mice--16, cats--3, rabbits--3, poultry--2, from objects of cattle-breeding premises--7. This testifies to PEV capacity to reproduction in the organism of hosts which are not characteristic of them. Some PEV strains cause cytopathogenic effect in human cell culture. No antigenic relations between 16 investigated strains of porcine enteroviruses and polimyelitis viruses of serotypes 1-3 and Coxsackie B5 were established.
