Abstract
An immunoglobulin M response to varicella-zoster virus was detected in 70% of zoster patients by solid-phase radioimmunoassay, in 52% by indirect immunofluorescence, in 48% by neutralization on sucrose density gradient fractions, and in 27% by an antibody class capture enzyme immunoassay. The patients showed marked variations in their varicella-zoster virus immunoglobulin M responses detectable in the different assays.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
