The strength and diversity of antibody responses to infection are the basis for many of the most rapid and sensitive tests in virology, yet the need to obtain the patient's consent and co–operation, to collect blood from a vein and to separate the serum before the test often deters investigators, particularly if children are involved or if there is added risk, difficulty or cost in doing the venepuncture.
