The indirect Enzyme-Labeled Antibody (ELA) hog cholera test has been successfully tested on a 640-sample, computer-coded serum tank. A greater than 99 percent correlation with the hog cholera serum neutralization test was observed. A successful field trial of the ELA hog cholera test was carried out. The serum factor present in packinghouse swine responsible for the high level of false positive ELA trichinosis reaction has been localized. This factor appears to be immunologically nonspecific. Investigation of the properties of various enzyme substrates has been done. Design for fabrication of preprototype, semiautomatic equipment has been completed.
