Convalescent levels of influenza antibodies were demonstrated by an agar gel precipitin (AGP) test in turkey sera after field outbreaks. The AGP test was positive with chicken sera for at least 8 weeks after laboratory exposure to any of 3 influenza strains, and positive with turkey sera for at least 12 weeks after exposure. The AGP test facilitates a diagnosis of avian influenza using a suspect virus or paired sera without the influences of strain-to-strain antigenic differences, which limit the usefulness of the hemagglutination-inhibition test.
