Preliminary research from the Department of Respiratory Disease Research at the Naval Health Research Center suggests that a rapid antigen assay test developed by Arbor Vita Corporation shows promise for the detection of the H5NI virus in humans.

The researchers concluded that the "PDZ based assay produced by AVC shows promise as a useful diagnostic in our vigilance against avian influenza." Researchers reported their findings at the 2008 International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases.
