Abstract
The potency of vaccines against Japanese encephalitis (JE) is usually determined by a mouse challenge test. In the present study, an antigen capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using monoclonal an tibodies (MoAbs) was used to screen inactivated tissue culture JE vacc ine lots. This test is simple, quick and reliable besides being very s ensitive and specific.
