Abstract
Summary
The tanned cell HA and HAI methods were adapted for study of a murine leukemia virus (Rauscher). The tests using antibody prepared in Rhesus monkeys were shown to be sensitive and specific for detection and estimation of virus and of anti-viral antibody. Antisera produced in 14 individual monkeys had titers ranging from 1:20 to 1:5,120 with a geometric mean of 1:320 when tested against JLS-V5 sensitized SRBC. As little as 0.2 μg/ml of viral protein was detected by HAI.
