[Use of the latex test in the serodiagnosis of enzootic leukosis of cattle].
Two antigenic extracts, prepared by different methods, were tried on 317 serum samples in the microscope-slide agglutination, sedimentation and tube agglutination tests. In comparison with the haematological findings, both antigens and all the tests gave a proportion of non-specific positive results, which made it impossible to obtain specific results. Various ways of reducing the proportion of non-specific reactions were tried, without success.
