 AB    A method for detection of antibodies against the enzootic bovine
       leukemia virus in single serum and milk samples, as well as in pooled
       milk samples, is described. After the electrophoretical separation of
       the antigen proteins with SDS-PAGE, a transfer onto an immobilizing
       membrane is done, followed by immunodetection based on the reaction of
       the leukemia virus antibodies with antigen proteins. The
       antibody-antigen complex is visualized by a second, biotinylated
       antibody and peroxidase-avidin. This system is developed for
       verification of ELISA-results in surveillance of official admitted herds
       free of leukosis. The threshold for positive samples is tested by the
       European reference serum E-4, Copenhagen, the dilution 1:25,000 is
       recognized as positive. The detected antigen-antibody reactions are
       determined by scanning and comparison with the MW-markers.
