Abstract
SummaryPassive administration of heterologous antibody to guinea pigs infected with Herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 allowed a production of antisera of enhanced specificity. The anti Herpes simplex virus type 1 serum produced was of high specificity and potency and showed only minor reactions with Herpes simplex virus type 2. The anti-Herpes simplex virus type 2 serum produced was of moderate specificity, but clearly differentiated between Herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 in different immunological reactions. The procedure described is a simple method whereby relatively specific antisera for typing of Herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 strains can be produced.This investigation was supported by grants from foundations of Jorgen Schaumann, Finsen and Edward Welander. I thank Gun Carlstrom, Aberra Demissie, and Erling Norrby for valuable help, comments, and advice.
