Use of Serum Stored on Filter Paper Disks in Complement Fixation Tests for Adenovirus Antibody

Earl A Edwards 1
PMCID: PMC274572  PMID: 845250

Abstract

A simple method of storage and retrieval of serum samples for adenovirus serology is described. Complement-fixing antibodies remained stable for at least 5 years when stored at −10°C or below.
