title: Application of agar-gel precipitin test for the detection of Sendai virus antibody in rat sera.
abstract: A simplified agar-gel precipitin test was performed for the detection of Sendai virus antibody in rat sera. A close correlation was observed between detection of antibodies by complement-fixation test and agar-gel precipitin test. No correlation was found between results obtained by hemagglutination-inhibition test and agar-gel precipitin test in sera with HI titer of less than 1:8.
