Forty negative chicken sera diluted at 1:1500 were tested by BE-ELISA. The mean A450 value and SD were
calculated as 0.112 and 0.037, respectively. Thus, the cut-off value using mean ± 3 SD was defined as
0.223

Supplementary Figure 1 Optimization of BE-ELISA conditions. “P” and “N” indicate the A450 value of IBV-
positive serum (China Institute of Veterinary Drug Control) and chicken negative serum, respectively.
They were tested in triplicate for each condition, and mean values ± SD are shown. “P/N” indicates the
ratio between the P and N values. Optimal working conditions were determined to be those that yielded
the highest P/N value. a The optimal antigen concentration and serum dilution were determined by
checkerboard titration of antigen BE (1.2, 2.4, 3.43, 6, and 8 μg/ml), with 1:100, 1:500, 1:1000, 1:1500,
and 1:2000 dilutions of IBV-positive serum and that of chicken negative serum. The combination that
yielded the highest P/N value was an antigen concentration of 3.43 μg/ml and a serum dilution of
1:1500. b Based on these results, the optimal dilution of HRP-conjugated donkey anti-chicken antibody
was analyzed at a dilution range from 1:2000 to 1:50,000. A dilution of 1:10,000 was determined to be
the optimal dilution. c Using the optimized dilutions, the type of blocking buffer was next optimized.
Buffers 1 to 5 represent 1 % (w/v) gelatin in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), 5 % (w/v) skimmed milk
powder in PBS, 10 % (w/v) skimmed milk powder in PBS, 1 % (w/v) BSA in PBS, and 0.5 % (w/v) BSA in
PBS, respectively. The buffer with 5 % (w/v) skimmed milk powder in PBS was found to yield the best
results
