[Immunoenzyme analysis with visual demonstration for detecting antibodies to the tick-borne encephalitis virus].

Good prospects for the use of enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with the simple visual indication of results have been shown with the detection of specific antibodies to tick-borne encephalitis virus in blood serum used as an example. When compared with such highly sensitive method as radioimmunoassay, visual EIA is inferior in both sensitivity and selectivity, but its special advantage is that it requires no instrument for evaluating the result.
