MEASUREMENT OF ANTIBODIES TO HERPESVIRUS HOMINIS BY INDIRECT IMMUNOFLUORESCENT ANTIBODY METHOD

Abstract

Antibodies to Herpesvirus hominis (HVH) were evaluated by indirect immunofluorescent antibody (FA) method. Frozen sections of HVH infected mouse brain provided antigens for FA staining. Indirect FA staining is apparently a rapid, sensitive and reproducible method for measurement of antibodies to HVH. Indirect FA method can be applied for epidemiological survey of [human] HVH infection.
