title: Immunoelectroosmophoresis for the human papovavirus BK.
abstract: The reaction between BK virus and its antibodies may well be visualized with immunoelectroosmophoresis (IEOP). Serum antibody levels may be compared or graded by reacting them against a continuous antigen front. In seroepidemiologic surveys IEOP compares favourably with hemagglutination inhibition in terms of sensitivity, practicability and reproducibility. Technical conditions are described which are suitable for antigen detection, quantification and identification.
