Following infection of chickens with infectious bronchitis virus (strain M41) viral antigens were detected by immunofluorescence in the basal layer of the tracheal mucosal epithelium for 44 days. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) 1st detected virus-specific antibody in tracheal washes 7 days after infection; at 10 days these antibodies reached a level that was maintained for at least 44 days, although there was considerable variation between chickens. A neutralization test did not detect antibody until day 20; titers were in the range 2.2-3.2 log2, reaching a maximum at day 27. ELISA detected anti-viral IgA intracheal washes only on day 7; IgG was detected in all samples containing anti-viral antibody. Serum anti-viral antibodies were detected by ELISA at 7 days and reached peak titers at 10 days, which were maintained. Serum neutralizing antibodies were first detected at 10 days and increased to peak titers on day 24. The implications of the differences between the results of ELISA and neutralization tests are discussed.
