Highly sensitive and accurate enzyme immunoassays (EIAs), a sandwich EIA for mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG) and an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for mouse antibody specific to viomycin (VM), were developed. Accuracy and specificity of the assay results were confirmed before their application. The changes of total IgG and antibody specific to VM in mice, immunized with a VM-immunogen with or without two types of Freund's adjuvants under various conditions, were assessed by means of the newly developed EIA methods. Both methods were very useful tools to follow the immunization processes of mice, and complete and incomplete Freund's adjuvant were found to have similar adjuvant activities for production of antibody specific to VM, judging from the amounts of anti-VM antibody formed. It seems to be important that too many booster injections should be avoided in the immunization of mice with a hapten immunogen.
