Abstract
This chapter is confined to the case of normal egg-adapted virus. Aberrant forms of the virus, such as the long rods that occur principally with freshly isolated strains and the incomplete, noninfectious virus produced when very large inocula are used also undergo the hemagglutination reaction in similar fashion to normal virus. Genetic variants of the virus can show vastly different abilities with respect to hemagglutination. Virus newly isolated from human sources, in particular, is very different in this respect from egg-adapted strains. The chapter is concerned with the dual property of hemagglutination and elution. It briefly describes the main features of the reactions and proposes scheme for the reaction. It has been that the ostensible simplicity of the hemagglutination reaction is, in reality, confused by a mass of diverse, and often contradictory, evidence.
