Summary
Crude CF antigens for serological diagnosis of infections with influenza type A, type B or mumps were readily prepared from the cellular phase of infected BHK-21 cell cultures. These antigens were mainly “soluble”. When treated with 2% chloroform they gave similar titres with human convalescent sera as the corresponding egg-derived antigens.
