Abstract

This study, then, was undertaken to develop a universal, in vitro, extracellular method utilizing fluorescence and radioactive ¹²⁵I to rapidly detect, identify, and quantitate pathogenic viruses and viral antibodies. Focus of the study is the CLAM model, which consists of inert latex particles, plus four radioactively labeled components: antibody, virus, enzyme (RNase) and fluorochrome (FITC).
