Abstract
The single radial hemolysis reaction is suitable for the quantitative assay of specific antibody to West Nile and Sindbis viruses. Only 5 .mu.l of undiluted [guinea pig, white rat, white mouse or rabbit] serum are needed for the test, which can be performed on crude preparations of antigen and without removal of non-specific inhibitors. It is a very simple procedure. It may be more specific than the classical hemagglutination-inhibition tests.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
