* Two aliquots of each dilution were tested; +, both aliquots were reactive; +/-, one aliquot was reactive and one was negative; -, both aliquots were negative.
 dagger / One aliquot had an indeterminate result (discordant results by enzyme immunoassay or weakly reactive by Western blot).
Dagger Two aliquots had an indeterminate result.
