Mnemonic: ENT PANEL

Methodology: Serum Neutralization/Complement Fixation
Performed: Mon-Fri
Reported: 6-9 days
Specimen Required: Collect: Serum separator tube.

Specimen Preparation: Separate serum from cells within 2 hours of collection. Transfer 2 mL serum to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 0.75 mL) Parallel testing is preferred and convalescent specimens must be received within 30 days from receipt of the acute specimens. Mark specimens plainly as "acute" or "convalescent."

Storage/Transport Temperature: Refrigerated.

Unacceptable Conditions: Contaminated, hemolyzed, or severely lipemic specimens.

Stability (collection to initiation of testing): After separation from cells: Ambient: 48 hours; Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: 1 year (avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles)

Echovirus 7:  Less than 1:10
Echovirus 9:  Less than 1:10
Echovirus 11: Less than 1:10
Echovirus 30: Less than 1:10
0060054Poliovirus Antibodies Less than 1:10:  No detectable poliovirus antibodies.
1:10 or greater: Antibody to poliovirus detected, which may represent prior immunization or current or past infection.

Interpretive Data: The presence of neutralizing antibodies against poliovirus implies immunity. The serum neutralization test is serotype specific. Antibodies against one type does not indicate immunity against other types.

Reference Interval applies to Poliovirus Antibody Types 1, 2 and 3.
