    The single radial complement fixation (SRC-fix) test offers a simple method for diagnosing viral infections. This study suggests SRC-fix as a new approach for viral disease diagnosis, using influenza A and herpes simplex viruses as examples.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Immunology
    • Diagnostic Microbiology

    Background:

    • Serological diagnosis is crucial for identifying viral infections.
    • Existing methods may have limitations in simplicity or applicability.
    • Complement fixation tests are established diagnostic tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the applicability of the single radial complement fixation (SRC-fix) test for viral serological diagnosis.
    • To assess the simplicity and effectiveness of the SRC-fix test in detecting viral antibodies.

    Main Methods:

    • The study utilized influenza A and herpes simplex viruses.
    • Serum samples were applied to agarose plates containing complement and viral antigen.
    • A second layer with antibody-coated erythrocytes was added, forming zones of unlysed cells.

  • Complement fixation (CF) titres were calculated based on the zone diameter.

    • Main Results:

    • The SRC-fix test demonstrated a straightforward procedure.
    • The test successfully determined complement fixation titres.
    • The method showed potential for diagnosing viral diseases.

    Conclusions:

    • The single radial complement fixation (SRC-fix) test is a viable and simple method for viral serological diagnosis.
    • SRC-fix is proposed as a novel technique for the diagnosis of viral diseases.
    • Further validation may establish SRC-fix as a standard diagnostic tool.
