LOINC description : The IFA method for antibody testing of Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome
(PRRS) is fast and less expensive than other methods but can result in false positives
so should be confirmed by virus isolation (VI) or RT-PCR methods. [http://lib.dr.iastate.edu/
cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article 4013&context etd] It uses sample and control serums that
are diluted and incubated on the PRRSV infected cells followed by florescent microscopic
examination for characteristic patterns of fluorescent staining. Antibody can be detected
in experimenally infected pigs 7 to 10 days post inoculation. Serum samples are screened
at a 1:20 dilution. (USDA).;
