A long series of human and animal viruses possess cross-reacting antigens e.g. adenoviruses, pestiviruses, immuno-deficiency viruses and herpesviruses.In many cases, clinical diagnostics of viral zoonoses require use of the same antigen preparations for the detection of antibodies in different animal species and humans.Staphylococcus A- and Streptococcus G-peroxidase conjugates have been used for the detection of antibodies by biochemist and histologists since many years.This work describes the adaptation of Fc-specific conjugates for the detection of virus-specific human and animal antibodies using commercial ELISA reagents and IF antigen preparations.Recombinant HCV,HEV and HIV enzyme immuno assays were used throughout.The Epstein-Barr virus antigen was prepared according to standard diagnostic immuno-fluorescence procedures.
