We have developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that uses polyclonal or monoclonal anti-surfactant protein SP-B antibodies to quantitate purified SP-B in chloroform/methanol and in chloroform/methanol extracts of whole pulmonary surfactant at nanogram levels. This method has been used

✦ Synopsis
Protein adsorption at polymer surfaces has been investigated by means of both ELISA and radiolabeling techniques. Most of the data obtained are linearly related to each other for protein concentrations between 0.01 and 1 µg/ml, i.e., the concentration range in which the maximum amount of adsorbed active protein (ELISA) is achieved. The correlation of ELISA data with radioisotope-based measurements allows quantification of the former. Specific correlation factors are described. Adsorption is shown to be strongly dependent on the polymer/protein system. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

## Abstract Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a newly identified respiratory virus associated with respiratory tract infection in both adults and children. Previous reports showed that infection of hMPV appeared to be ubiquitous. To determine the seroprevalence of hMPV, a total of 576 human sera from
