Fig. 4From: Revealing new tick-borne encephalitis virus foci by screening antibodies in sheep milkComparing the presence of TBEV antibodies in milk and colostrum from individual animals over time and neutralisation of TBEV in colostrum. a Comparison of anti-TBEV-IgG antibody titer for samples collected from the same individual animals at Focus I (animal #1 and #2) and Focus II (animal #1 and #2) in milk samples (blue) and colostrum samples (grey). b Neutralising antibody titers of different colostrum samples detected by means of focus reduction neutralisation test (FRNT). A neutralising titer with colostrum dilution 1/16 and reducing the number of focus forming units (Ffu) by 80% was regarded as positiveBack to article page
