Levitt et al. (1976) studied Western Equine Encephalomyelitis (WEE) virus infection. Solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) vs. Plaque assay and uninfected controls was evaluated on Detection and identification of WEE virus (binding ratio > 2.0). A solid-phase radioimmunoassay was successfully adapted for the rapid and specific detection of Western Equine Encephalomyelitis virus in cell cultures and clinical tissue specimens within 24 hours.
