Influenzavirus neuraminidase and neuraminidase-inhibition test procedures. 1973

M Aymard-Henry, and M T Coleman, and W R Dowdle, and W G Laver, and G C Schild, and R G Webster

The adequate characterization of type A influenzaviruses requires the identification not only of the haemagglutinin but also of the neuraminidase. The neuraminidase-inhibition test, as performed in the two WHO international reference centres for influenza, is described and its use in other laboratories-particularly those collaborating in the WHO programme-is recommended.
