01/01/1944 - "An experimental study of three strains of Russian spring-summer encephalitis virus and one of louping ill virus has yielded the following results:- 1.

01/01/1944 - "An experimental study of three strains of Russian spring-summer encephalitis virus and one of louping ill virus has yielded the following results:- 1. The sera of mice hyperimmunized to the viruses of Russian encephalitis and louping ill respectively have produced complement fixation with both antigens in almost precisely the same titer. "
10/31/1941 - "Complement-fixing antibodies were present in high titre in sera drawn from two persons 8 years after an attack of louping ill, from five persons 2(1/2) years after an attack of Eastern equine encephalomyelitis, and from two persons 2(1/2) years after Western equine encephalomyelitis. "

09/01/1992 - "Monoclonal antibodies that bind louping ill virus showed a close antigenic relationship between louping ill and Negishi virus. "
12/01/1995 - "Twenty isolates of Central European encephalitis (CEE) virus were compared with 20 isolates of louping-ill (LI) virus in indirect immunofluorescence test (IIFT), using a panel of 17 monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) prepared against the prototype LI virus. "
11/01/1993 - "Monoclonal antibodies with defined specificity for the flavivirus envelope glycoprotein distinguished TSE virus from louping ill (LI), western or far eastern TBE, Langat and Powassan virus in indirect immunofluorescence, haemagglutination-inhibition and neutralization tests. "
03/01/1987 - "Nevertheless, it was possible to differentiate the Skalica strain from Langat, louping-ill and Omsk haemorrhagic fever (OHF) viruses by ELISA when monoclonal antibodies and antigens were diluted 1:10,000. "
08/01/1985 - "Fourteen mouse monoclonal antibodies raised against tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and polyclonal antisera raised against six other flaviviruses, Edge Hill (EHV), Japanese encephalitis (JEV), Langat (LGTV), louping ill (LIV), West Nile (WNV) and yellow fever (YFV), were tested for their ability to enhance the replication of TBEV in cells of the mouse macrophage-like line P388 D1, and for their reactivity in ELISA and haemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests. "

05/31/1933 - "In addition to the negative findings, a certain amount of useful information was also secured, namely, (1) monkeys can be solidly immunized against louping ill by intraperitoneal injections of virus and partially protected by intramuscular administrations of the active agent, (2) during the process of immunization no signs of involvement of the central nervous system are manifested, and (3) sera from monkeys immunized in the manner described contain antibodies capable of neutralizing the virus."
09/01/1994 - "The immunisation of mice with these recombinant viruses showed that the recombinant expressing PrM/TrE proteins induced neutralising and protective antibodies against challenge with louping ill or tick-borne encephalitis virus, but that the recombinant expressing the E or the TrE protein alone failed to induce any detectable immune responses against homologous or heterologous virus challenge."
10/31/1941 - "Complement-fixing antibodies were present in high titre in sera drawn from two persons 8 years after an attack of louping ill, from five persons 2(1/2) years after an attack of Eastern equine encephalomyelitis, and from two persons 2(1/2) years after Western equine encephalomyelitis. "

09/01/1985 - "Analysis of low-molecular virus-specific proteins of all the known members of the tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) complex viruses: TBE (2 strains), Langat, louping-ill, Negishi, Kyasanur Forest disease, Omsk hemorrhagic fever (2 strains), and Powassan, was performed. "
09/01/1994 - "The immunisation of mice with these recombinant viruses showed that the recombinant expressing PrM/TrE proteins induced neutralising and protective antibodies against challenge with louping ill or tick-borne encephalitis virus, but that the recombinant expressing the E or the TrE protein alone failed to induce any detectable immune responses against homologous or heterologous virus challenge."

01/01/1996 - "For example, the use of pituitary-derived human growth hormone and gonadotropins has resulted in the transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease to other humans [1], the use of formalin-inactivated sheep brain as a source for louping ill vaccine led to the transmission of scrapie to over 1,000 sheep from one vaccine lot [2], and the use of rendered products from ruminant carcasses in the domestic animal food chain led to the emergence and epizootic of bovine spongifrom encephalopathy in the United Kingdom [3]. "

01/01/1997 - "An automated one tube reverse transcriptase and nested primer polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by nucleotide sequencing of the cDNA product, was used for the rapid detection and identification of louping ill (LI) virus in field caught Ixodes ricinus and compared with a classical isolation method i.e. "

01/01/1997 - "An automated one tube reverse transcriptase and nested primer polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by nucleotide sequencing of the cDNA product, was used for the rapid detection and identification of louping ill (LI) virus in field caught Ixodes ricinus and compared with a classical isolation method i.e. "

09/01/1952 - "The prevention of encephalitis due to the viruses of eastern equine encephalomyelitis and louping-ill: experiments with trypan red, mepacrine, and many other substances."

05/31/1933 - "In addition to the negative findings, a certain amount of useful information was also secured, namely, (1) monkeys can be solidly immunized against louping ill by intraperitoneal injections of virus and partially protected by intramuscular administrations of the active agent, (2) during the process of immunization no signs of involvement of the central nervous system are manifested, and (3) sera from monkeys immunized in the manner described contain antibodies capable of neutralizing the virus."
