Multiple viral infections and multiple factors seem to contribute to canine respiratory diseases. One or more bacterial and viral species can be the cause of the highly common canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC). Cough, drainage from the eyes or nose, fever, and other mild or severe symptoms of the disease include pneumonia exacerbated by a viral infection. Most sickness symptoms in dogs are moderate and self-limiting, meaning they go away on their own within 7 to 10 days. Some viral infections that cause canine respiratory disorders include the canine influenza virus, canine parainfluenza virus, canine distemper virus, canine herpesvirus, canine respiratory coronavirus, and canine adenovirus type 2. Recently, canine acute respiratory illnesses brought on by group I and II coronaviruses and the influenza A virus have been reported.

The virus neutralization assay (VN) is used to treat canine respiratory disorders caused by several viral pathogens. It is a diagnostic test that inhibits the viral attachment to the cell in response to infection. Virus Neutralization (VN) assays have been frequently utilized to discover canine respiratory disease-specific antibodies. Using fibroblast as targeted cells, the virus neutralization assay inhibits the viral attachment to the cell and reverse transcription and integration. To find group-specific antibodies against respiratory disorders in dogs, the VN test has been widely used. The virus neutralization method has the advantage of being able to accurately evaluate serum samples that have been highly hemolyzed and cytotoxic. Various antibodies have been found using VN technologies such as the plaque reduction neutralization test and the serum virus neutralization assay (SVM).

Workflow | Details |
Virus titration | Stock virus was aliquoted in many tubes, diluted to its working concentration, and stored at a specified temperature. |
Dilution | The stock virus was diluted in a virus diluent containing trypsin, and quadruplicate titrations were carried out. |
Incubation | Incubation was carried out using a finite supply of carbon dioxide at a defined temperature and duration. |
Cell-fixation | The media was taken out of the viral titration. |
Micro-neutralization assay | Before being used in the test, all serum was treated with a receptor-destroying enzyme and kept at a certain temperature range for a set amount of time. |
