The invention discloses a method for detecting the titre of live viruses, which comprises the following steps: firstly, infecting diploid cells or other adherent cells with dilute viruses to be detected, culturing and fixing the infected cells; secondly, adding virus antiserum (first antibody) into the fixed cells, culturing and washing, adding a second antibody marked by horseradish peroxidase (HRP), culturing and washing, adding coloring solution for color development and producing red or brown spots, or adding virus antiserum marked by the HRP into the fixed cells, culturing the virus antiserum and washing, adding the coloring solution for color development and producing red or brown spots; thirdly, calculating the virus titre according to the quantity of the red or brown spots and the dilution multiple, or calculating the 1gTCID50 value of the viruses according to the dilution degree and the hole numbers of the spots. The detection method can be applicable to the titre detection of various live viruses, can shorten the detection time of the titre of the viruses due to fast detection speed, has good specificity as the immune spots are caused by special immune reaction, low detection cost as well as simple and convenient operation and does not need special instruments of optical or fluorescent microscopes, and the like or other reagents.
