86320-9
LaboratoryZika virus neutralizing antibody [Presence] in Specimen by Neutralization test
Definition
Qualitative result for Zika virus neutralizing antibodies in clinical specimens and isolates. Serological cross-reactivity is strong between Zika and other flaviviruses, especially Dengue virus. Therefore, positive EIA or IF assays are presumptive only and should be confirmed by a neutralization assay, such as the plaque-reduction neutralization test (PRNT), which can discriminate between Zika virus and cross-reacting antibodies in primary flavivirus infections.
