Rapid typing of herpes simplex virus strains using the indirect immunoperoxidase method.
The indirect immunoperoxidase technique with type-specific antisera was compared to kinetic neutralization for the typing of herpes simplex virus strains. There was complete agreement between the results obtained by kinetic neutralization and indirect immunoperoxidase. The indirect immunoperoxidase assay was far simpler to perform and interpret than the kinetic neutralization tests, and it offered a rapid means for the routine antigenic typing of herpes simplex isolates.
