The adsorption properties of influenza virus virions and surface and internal proteins isolated from them were studied in an experiment with polystyrene. The data obtained indicate that direct adsorption on polysterene may be used for the qualitative identification of viral material in various biological fluids. But it is necessary to take into account that the percentage of adsorption depends on the quality of the polystyrene substrate and on the nature of the antigen and buffer (or biological fluid), from which adsorption occurs.
