Development of Passive Hemagglutination Assays and Large Animal Antisera for Detection of Hepatitis Associated Antigens.

摘要

Procedures are described and evaluated for large scale purification of hepatitis associated antigen. Purified antigen preparations have been successfully employed for hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition assays,and this methodology has been improved and evaluated. Procedures are described for immunization of chimpanzees to produce large quantities of hepatitis associated antibody.
