Use of Heavy Water (D₂O) in Developing Thermostable Recombinant p26 Protein Based Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Serodiagnosis of Equine Infectious Anemia Virus Infection

Figure 2

Thermostability of rp26 ELISA at 37°C (a) and at 42°C (b). Duration of thermostability is indicated by arrow (↓) against each strong serum positive serum (■), medium positive serum (●), and weak positive serum (▲). No significant difference exists in 60% D₂O versus 80% D₂O.
