Despite the wide spectrum of reliable methods for identifying Ebola virus, their performance requires highly-skilled personnel, specialized laboratories, complicated equipment, and much time. Therefore, there is a need for a method that allows a physician or a medical attendant to identify the causative agent in field or bedside tests without special equipment as soon as possible. The immunoassay involving nitrocellulose membrane immuno-filtration, by using a fixed antigen (antibodies) or their immunosols, is a tried-and-true method. The time of the analysis is 7-15 min.
