Abstract: The present invention relates to immunoassays for serologically differentiating animals naturally infected with PRRS virus from animals vaccinated against PRRS. The immunoassays provide detection of at least a portion of the N terminal region of the 2b portion of PRRSV. The immunoassay is preferably an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
