  • Title: Rapid detection of influenza virus by shell vial assay with monoclonal antibodies.
    Author: Espy MJ, Smith TF, Harmon MW, Kendal AP.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1986 Oct; 24(4):677-9. PubMed ID: 3533980.
    Abstract:
    Of 45 influenza virus strains (43 type A and 2 type B) detected in conventional tube cell cultures (average time, 4 days), 25 (56%) were detected by immunofluorescence in the shell vial assay 24 h postinoculation. The specific fluorescence produced should allow this procedure to be readily adapted by laboratories with various degrees of experience with immunofluorescence methodology.
