The author reports on a micro-neutralization test which makes it possible to detect the antibodies against 7 different respiratory viruses (adeno and parainfluenza viruses) using only 0.080 ml of serum from patient. Swaged PVC foil used for packing pharmaceuticals, also known here as strip packing or press-through packing for pills and dragees was employed as plates for the cultures. This material is not toxic for the cell cultures, it is cheap and suitable also for other microbiological work in the field of serology.
