Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies specific for herpes simplex type 1 or type 2 were used in reverse passive haemagglutination tests or infectivity neutralisation tests to serotype 100 isolates of herpes simplex virus (HSV). All isolates were independently serotyped by measuring their sensitivity to bromovinyl deoxyuridine. Reverse passive haemagglutination tests with type‐specific antibodies directed against the HSV glycoprotein D and major DNA binding protein gave results in perfect agreement with the results of drug‐sensitivity measurement. A single isolate behaved anomalously in the neutralisation test with a type 1‐specific antibody directed against glycoprotein A/B. Restriction‐enzyme analysis of virus DNA suggests that this isolate contains a variant glycoprotein A/B. The two methods used for serotyping proved very sensitive, giving adequate results with samples containing as little as 100 plaque forming units (pfu) of HSV. The reverse passive haemagglutination test has the additional advantages of speed and simplicity.Keywords
