Technique for Viral Neutralization Antibody Surveys in Primary Microcultures

R J Helmke 1, R L Heberling 1, S S Kalter 1
PMCID: PMC377095  PMID: 4992659

Abstract

A simplified, microplate tissue culture procedure is described which facilitates neutralization antibody surveys on large numbers of sera. A comparison of the micromethod with that employing standard tube cultures indicates it to be as sensitive and far more economical.
