Abstract
The biotin-avidin detection system was used in direct and indirect ELISA for detecting a broad range of serologically related tobamoviruses. When compared to standard ELISA procedures that use antibodies labelled with alkaline phosphatase, the biotin-avidin system increased the assay sensitivity and allowed a wider range of related viral serotypes to be detected.
