title: [Production of an erythrocyte preparation for detection of herpes antibody in the hemagglutination reaction].
abstract: A method for obtaining an erythrocyte diagnostic preparation for detection and titration of herpetic antibody in the passive hemagglutination test is reported. The use of this preparation for quantitative assay of herpetic antibody in sera from herpes simplex patients detected antibody in 100% of cases. Considerably less frequent findings of herpetic antibody were in human sera from diseases of other etiologies and in donor sera. Titers of antibody detected in the PHA test were 2--10 times higher than in the CFT. However, no differences between the PHA test and the CFT were found in per sent of seroconversions and in increase of antibody titers. The method is simple, sensitive and easy to perform in any clinical laboratory.
