[The application of radial hemolysis technique in detection of antibodies to avian influenza virus A (H5N1) and pandemic virus A (H1N1) pdm09].

Abstract
The article discusses the results of study that demonstrated the possibility of successful application of radial hemolysis reaction in analyzing the human inoculation immunity to new strains of influenza virus serotype A - A (H5N1) and A (H5N2). The radial hemolysis reaction provides accurate results on introduction of erythrocytes of horse or sheep into hemolytic system instead of erythrocytes of hens applied previously. The technique combines high sensitivity (in comparison with reactions of hemagglutination-inhibition and micro-neutralization, correlation coefficient 0.84-0.85) and total absence of inhibitors impact on the reaction results. During the investigation of immune response of patients who had pandemic virus A (H1N1) pdm09, radial hemolysis reaction demonstrated not only primary detection of antibodies to virus-agent (67%) during pandemic, but also elective heightened sensibility in the zone of low titer serums (1:20) in hemagglutination-inhibition reaction. These characteristics are very important in analysis of antibodies levels at early stages of disease. The radial hemolysis reaction continues to be a reliable instrument in evaluating qualitative and quantitative indicators of humoral immunity in ill patients and persons inoculated with new strains of human influenza virus.
