Abstract
The usefulness of blood sampling paper for the detection of antibodies against porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was examined. The PCMV antibody titer of whole blood co llected on the paper agreed with that of serum and the absorbances of the corresponding samples were well correlated (r=0.88). Blood was col lected from 26 piglets in the field on the blood sampling paper and EL ISA was performed. The maternal PCMV antibody of these piglets decreas ed during the 8 weeks after birth and IgM antibody against PCMV was de tected in four piglets.
