Abstract
OF the different properties of the viruses of the myxogroup, for example, infectivity, antigenic properties, hæmagglutination and enzymic activity, only hæmagglutination has so far provided moderately rapid and accurate titration methods for the determination of myxovirus concentrations. A disadvantage of these methods is the necessary use of red blood cells, which are difficult to standardize.
