Abstract:
Fluorescent antibody reagents were prepared for the rapid diagnosis of acute respiratory disease caused by adenovirus in a military population. Methods are described for the preparation of high-titered antisera in rabbits, fractionation of globulins from the serum, conjugation with fluorescein isothiocyanate, and sorption to remove nonspecific staining. Fluorescein-tagged antisera were specific at diluations of 120 to 130.
