  • Title: Use of antisera against bovine (NCDV) and simian (SA11) rotaviruses in ELISA to detect different types of human rotavirus.
    Author: Bishai FR, Spence L, Goodwin D, Petro R.
    Journal: Can J Microbiol; 1979 Sep; 25(9):1118-24. PubMed ID: 94274.
    Abstract:
    Two ELISA systems for the detection of human rotaviruses were developed. In the first system antibodies to Nebraska calf diarrhea virus (NCDV) were used for coating the solid matrix and for the preparation of the enzyme conjugate. In the second system antibodies to human rotavirus and antibodies to simian rotavirus (SA11) were used for coating the solid matrix and for the preparation of the enzyme conjugate respectively. The second ELISA system proved to have a broader spectrum for the detection of human rotaviruses. By using the two ELISA systems, the different types of human rotavirus could be distinguished. The ELISA tests developed were 8 to 64 times as sensitive as electron microscopy (EM) and (or) counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIEP). The antigen detected by ELISA was shown to be different from that detected by the hemagglutination test.
