Rapid identification of viruses by a simple indirect immune electron microscopy technique using ferritin-labelled antibodies

L Berthiaume et al. J Virol Methods. 1981 Jun.

Abstract

A simple indirect immune electron microscopy technique using ferritin-labelled antibodies and negative staining to rapidly visualize and identify human viruses is described. The increased electron density given by the ferritin molecules, which also served as a reliable marker, has greatly facilitated virus detection.
