- Abbreviations: Ext Extinction values at 405 nm, CICs BoDV-1-specific circulating immune complexes in blood plasma, specific for BoDV-1 antigens p40/p24, pAG antigens (p40/p24) in citrated blood plasma, Ab Antibodies. The values of CICs, pAG and Ab are given as extinction at 405 nm × 1000, measured by enzyme immune assays (EIAs) in the starting dilution in brackets for each test (see Methods)
- The cut off value of each test is ≥ 100. Results < 100 are regarded negative
- H-group = patients with high CICs; L-group = patients with low CICs
- aComment: Patients 9, 10 and 12 were negative at the time of initial sampling (week 0) shown here but developed CICs on week 2, lasting to week 6 up to week 16 (see follow-up data, Table 3)
