Cheryl, 

We are presently using anti-Japanese Encephalitis antibody (made in-house)
for all WNV testing.

We have just received two WNV monoclonals from BioReliance but we haven't
tested them yet.

You have to call or email them to ask about the antibodies (they're not on
the website). Ask for Cynthia West.

Clone 3A3: CN#: 80-524-WNV3A3 (tested by IFA)

Clone 5H10:  CN#:  80-524-WNV5H10

Neither is supposed to be cross-reactive with JE or St Louis Encephalitis.

They will send you a form to do the order by fax.
You will receive two vials of 100ul each for about USD95.00, plus diluent.
