Abstract
A method for the rapid detection of virus and viral antigens associated with somatic cells in biological test samples is disclosed. The method comprises lysing the cells with a lytic agent to reveal virus or viral antigens for participation in a virus detection system. The lytic agent is chosen for its biological neutrality in the detection system, particularly its inability to produce a cytopathic effect in tissue culture.
