Animals from the Arabian Peninsula had high neutralizing serum activities overall and reciprocal antibody titers <320-1,280, which support recent infection with MERS-CoV or a highly related virus. Expanding upon these studies, we used in the present study a recombinant MERS-CoV spike protein immunofluroescence assay (rIFA) augmented by a validated protein microarray (10, 21) , followed by MERS-CoV-specific neutralization assay, to screen 651 dromedary serum samples from the United Arabian Emirates. In the tested panel of camel serum samples, vIFA titers corresponded well to titers determined by rIFA and generally equal to or higher than titers in the rIFA (Table 1) To confirm results from affinity assays with results from a functional test, we determined endpoint virus neutralization titers by using a microneutralization test against MERS-CoV and BCoV.	./cache/cord-283966-eln8ljjj.txt	./txt/cord-283966-eln8ljjj.txt
