a test serum is positive if it forms a specific precipitation line with the bovine leukosis virus (BLV) antigen and forms a complete line of identity with the control serum;
(b)
a test serum is negative if it does not form a specific precipitation line with the BLV antigen and if it does not bend the line of the control serum;
(c)
the reaction cannot be considered conclusive if it:
(i)
bends the line of the control serum towards the BLV antigen well without forming a visible precipitin line with the antigen; or
