Electronic Theses and Dissertations

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).
