Abstract
Summary
A microindirect hemagglutination test (IHA) for the determination of type-specific antibody to Herpesvirus homin-is (Types I and II) was developed and evaluated in comparison to the quantitative microneutralization procedure. Paired human sera from 14 patients with complement-fixing antibody rises to herpesvirus were tested with all three methods. The IHA test, as described, appears to be rapid, simple and valuable technique for a detection of Type I and Type II herpesvirus infections and may be useful for classifying herpesvirus isolates.
We wish to acknowledge the technical assistance of Mrs. Anita Ley, Mr. Melvin Hess, and Miss Sally Hensen.
