Comparisons were made between standard methods of cell culture, indirect immunofluorescence (IF) using hyperimmune respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) antiserum, and indirect IF using mouse monoclonal antibodies directed against various epitopes of RSV for the detection of RSV in nasopharyngeal aspira

## Abstract We developed an enzyme immunoassay (direct EIA; EnzygnostยฎRSV[Ag]) for the direct detection of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) antigen in nasopharyngeal specimens (NPS). The test procedure is the same as our recently described direct EIA for detection of influenza A and B virus antige
IgG and IgA antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) membrane antigen (MA) were detected in sera from 96 NPC patients and normal individuals by the indirect immunofluorescence test. For MA/IgG antibody, 100% of NPC patients were positive with a GMT of 1:439.7 and 97.9% of normal individuals were posit
