ABSTRACT:
A rapid and direct assay for detecting of a virus having a characteristic enzyme in clinical samples in which (1) the clinical sample is contacted in solution with a substrate for the enzyme which includes a chromogen that is cleaved from the substrate by the enzyme and a precipitating agent that reacts with the liberated chromogen to form a precipitate (2) filtering the solution to concentrate the precipitate and (3) visually observing the concentrated precipitate for the characteristic color of the chromogen.
