Abstract
To advance in experimental virology it is necessary to provide sufficient material for study and also to develop microtechniques to make best use of that material. We are interested in preparing antisera against new non-particulate antigens extractable from herpes-infected cells; these are expensive to supply in large quantity. Accordingly, we have examined a method designed to raise antibody using small quantities of antigen1. We wish to report the success of this method for preparing antisera to viral proteins.
