[Development and utilization of an immunoenzyme technic to diagnose arenavirus infections].
The possibility of using ELISA for the detection of arenavirus antigens in different organs of infected newborn white mice as well as in the culture fluids of arenavirus-infected cell cultures was demonstrated. The sensitivity of ELISA in antigen detection 100-200 times exceeds that of the CFT, and the time of antigen detection after inoculation of animals or cell cultures is much shorter. The use of ELISA block for the detection and titration of virus-specific antibody also demonstrated high sensitivity of this method as compared with the CFT.
