An enzyme immunoassay system has been developed for the detection of E
bola virus antigen. It permits a highly accurate and sensitive rapid d
etection of the antigen. Optimal dilutions of specific immunoglobulin
(1:500, corresponding to protein concentration of 50 mu g/ml) and conj
ugate were found. The resolving capacity of the new test system is 1.9
x 10(-7) g protein.
