ELISA for antigen detection

Viral antigens can be also detected using ELISA techniques, but it is only recommended for acute forms of the disease because of its low sensitivity when antigen-antibody complexes are present. The sensitivity of the antigen ELISA should be high enough to score a positive result from animals showing clinical signs of acute ASF. In any case it is recommended to use this test only as a "herd" test and in conjunction with other virological tests.
