Abstract
Methods for rapid detection and/or semi-quantitation of anti-adenovirus antibody are disclosed. Anti-adenovirus antibody is detected using a device comprising a membrane with adsorbed antigen which specifically binds anti-adenovirus antibody and an absorbent pad which is contacted with the membrane. By consolidating detection reactions in a confined location and eliminating the need to manually remove input reagents, detection and semi-quantitation is achieved rapidly and conveniently. The invention also provides kits and devices for detection and/or semi-quantitation of anti-adenovirus antibodies.
