China has invented a testing method, which can detect the presence of SARS virus within one hour. The new method uses the specially－modified protein of the virus to detect the presence of a type of antibody which the body produces as a response to infection with the virus, according to experts.
Experts said that the presence of the antibody is an absolutely certain indicator of the existence of the virus. The method is safe, inexpensive and requires a relatively small sample for testing and it produces accurate results within one hour.
