An HLA-DR typing test based on lympho- cytotoxicity in which a vital dye-labeled total human lymphocyte sample, such as a sample of peripheral blood lymphocytes, is incubated with HLA-DR antisera, a monoclonal antibody against T cells, and complement and the DR type is determined based upon the resultant cyto- toxicity as measured by the fluorescence of B cells surviving the incubation.

according to the present invention, exhibits a higher producibility of immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M antibodies, while it induces less or substantially no production of immuno- globulin E antibody, in comparison with conventional-type inactivated virus vaccine; thus. the present vaccine is favorably usable for the prevention and treatment of viral diseases.
