Abstract

We evaluated 2 electrochemiluminescence serologic assays to detect avian influenza H5 antibodies. The assays identified H5 antibodies from both serum and dried blood spots and had strong specificity and minimal cross-reactivity in human and avian samples. Such assays can support populationwide serologic surveys aimed at assessing population-level immunity.
