Production of Monolayer Plaque Assay Slides.

Abstract

The relative merits and disadvantages of the monolayer plaque assay as described by Cunningham (1965), have been adequately reviewed by Jerne et al. (1976). An important drawback to the technique has been the preparation of test slides. These slides have been produced in a variety of ways (Cunningham, 1965; Cunningham and Szanberg, 1968; Zaalberg, 1968; Elkerbout and Hijmans, 1974) each suffering from certain disadvantages. Ideally, one wants an easy method to produce not only large numbers of slides but slides containing chambers of suitable and reproducible dimensions. This becomes an important consideration as the monolayer plaque assay is gaining rapid acceptance and wide use. In this communication, we report the construction of a simple jig which allows the rapid production of large numbers of slides.
