An IgM capture solid-phase radioimmunoassay (MACRIA) for BK virus (BKV) specific IgM is described. This test is more sensitive in detecting BVK specific IgM than hemagglutination inhibition and immune EM with serum fractions from sucrose density gradients. The use of this specific assay allowed large numbers of sera to be examined with ease so that the distribution of BKV specific IgM in different populations could be studied more fully. BKV specific IgM was detected in 11/300 sera from London [UK] blood donors, in 24/114 sera from children aged between 2-11 yr admitted to a pediatric unit and 14/79 sera taken from children aged between 2-5 yr for the investigation of anti-streptolysin 0 titers. BKV specific IgM was not detected in 404 cord sera examined to investigate the transplacental transmission of BK virus.
