title: Detection of antibodies to Sendai virus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
abstract: An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to Sendai virus, a paramyxovirus, is described. The assay was found to be about 20-fold more sensitive than the hemagglutination inhibition assay. Differentiation between virus specific IgG and IgM is possible. The test appears to be especially useful in the study of early events in antibody formation in vivo as well as in vitro.
