The availability of monoclonal antibodies against various viral components, either
internal nucleoproteins or membrane proteins, has greatly advanced our understanding
of the biochemistry of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The components responsible
for serum neutralization have been identified by monoclonal antibodies, thus facilitating
the development of synthetic RSV vaccine. A number of clinical tests have been devised
using monoclonal antibodies for either qualitative or quantitative determination of
the presence of RSV antigens. The practical procedures for the widely used indirect
immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are
presented. Various commercial ELISA spectrophotometers and washers are also compared
and evaluated.
