Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Through observing the morphological changes of the prepared influenza viruses (H1N1) treated with the different concentration of Nonidet P-40 solutions and added with antibody against the influenza virus using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), to explore the principle of application of the internal antibody for immunoassay of influenza virus.

METHODS: Through treating the virus samples with serial diluted Nonidet P-40 solutions from 0.01% to 0.2% and/or not adding antibody against the influenza virus, then investigating the samples by TEM to obtain the morphological changes of the virions.

RESULTS: The serial images show that the denudation degree of the virions is proportional with the rise of NP-40 concentration, and partly denuded virion image appeared at 0.1% NP-40 treatment, also under this condition no influence was observed on antibody binding to the virus.

CONCLUSION: This work demonstrated the interaction between influenza virion and its antibody under nonionic surfactants existing, which supports the advantages of sample preparation for immunoassay enveloped virus using internal antibody theoretically.
