Abstract
Summary
Reaction of sera from patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM) with cell cultures infected by NDV was demonstrated by mixed agglutination (MA). The indicator system used in MA was specific for human IgM. A high incidence of positive results was obtained for IM sera in contrast to a low incidence in sera of patients suffering from other diseases and sera of healthy individuals. Good correlation was obtained between results in MA and tests with agglutination of NDV-modified RBC's. Positive results were obtained with IM sera using the VIC strain of NDV in MA, but not with the B1 strain.
