[Diagnostic advantages of the test system "DS-EIA-HBsAg-0.01" for detection of HBV surface antigen].

The new highly sensitive test system "DS-EIA-HBsAg-0.01" (Priority Certificate No. 2006129019 of August 10, 2006) in detecting hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was assessed.

[Adaptation of different modifications of enzyme immunoassay and immune blot assay to assess the candidate vaccine HIVREPOL against HIV/AIDS].

A preclinical trial of the vaccine HIVREPOL provided a complex of methods for assessing the identity and specific activity of vaccines against HIVIAIDS. The identity of "HIVREPOL" has been assessed by indirect enzyme immunoassay (EIA): the vaccine specifically binds the antibodies of the sera from HIV-infected individuals. Immune blot assay was the most informative method for assessing the identity of the candidate vaccine.

[Use of DEAE-Sephadex A-50 microcarriers for reproduction of the mumps virus].

Reproduction of the vaccine L-3 strains of mumps virus was studied in cultures of continuous Vero cells and in primary cultures of Japanese quail embryos (JQE) growing on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 microcarriers. The Vero cell culture multiplies actively on the microcarrier surface giving more than a 20-fold increase in 8 days. Mumps virus showed a high reproductive capacity in Vero cell culture and in primary JQE cells.
