The result obtained in the study of the possibility of using the method for the determination of the titer of antibodies to herpes simplex virus by EIA techniques in a single dilution of the serum under test are presented. This method is based on the determination of the optical density of the serum titer (rcut) in different groups of sera with the use of the assay system, permitting the evaluation of the positive results obtained in the determination of their final dilution. The results obtained with the use of this method showed that error was 50% for high-titer sera, 60% for medium-titer sera and 30% for low-titer sera.
