Titration of Hemagglutination-Inhibiting Antibodies to Ectromelia Virus by the Takatsy Microtitration Method

Abstract

Combined with the orbital-puncture method for obtaining blood specimens, the Takatsy microtitration method permits repeated serological tests from an individual mouse. The author reports on standardization of the hemagglutination-inhibition reaction by selection of suitable reagents. The method is well suited for large-scale serological diagnosis of ectromelia.
