Zusammenfassung:Rapid screening of a large number of organisms for variants producing particular products is accomplished using membrane plates having a predetermined molecular weight cutoff and which divide a container into two chambers. High density cellular lawns are employed in conjunction with labeled antibodies for the product of interest mixed in soft agar. The cells are subjected to viral lysis and after the plaques have reached maturity, the plates are immersed in buffer. Residual soluble labeled antibody diffuses from the agar, and immunoprecipitate of the product and the antibody may then be detected.
