Visual Reading of Enzyme Immunofluorescence Assays for Human Cytomegalovirus Antibodies

PMCID: PMC273676  PMID: 6268655

Abstract

Enzyme immunofluorescence assays for cytomegalovirus antibodies could be read satisfactorily using a light box with ultraviolet illumination. Higher antibody titers were obtained with a fluorogenic substrate than with a color-producing substrate.
