  • Assay for viruses
    Patent number: 4588680
    Abstract: This application discloses a method for assaying viruses in which viral particles or fragments are treated to expose M-protein, and the presence of M-protein is subsequently determined by an immunoassay technique. The M-protein of viruses is quite lipophilic and appears to bind preferentially to surfaces such as polystyrene. This permits the assay to be conducted on a convenient polystyrene or similar solid surface. Detection is preferably by means of an enzyme antibody conjugate.
