title: [The avidin-biotin system. Its application in virology].
abstract: The report briefly reviews the strategies of utilisation of the avidin-biotin system and its variants, as well as the applications of this system in different fields, especially those linked to the diagnosis and the treatment of some viral and bacterial infections. Some of the techniques using the system are presented, as well as its advantages and the perspectives to ameliorate the methodologies and to enlarge the field of its applications.
