title: Rapid identification of viruses by indirect immunofluorescence: standardization and use of antiserum pool to nine respiratory viruses.
abstract: The indirect fluorescent antibody test employing treated and standardized antisera and conjugated antiglobulin has been used successfully, in conjunction with a technique for growing and staining virus cell systems in situ on microscope slides, in the identification of nine respiratory viruses. By using pooled antisera in a single test, the presence or absence of these viruses was determined in 18 to 45 hr after inoculation of slide microtissue culture.
