title: Characterization of rotavirus subgroup-specific monoclonal antibodies and use in single-sandwich ELISA systems for rapid subgrouping of human strains.
abstract: Two subgroup-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAb) raised in mice against group A human rotavirus were shown to react by immunoblotting with the trimeric form of VP6 of the homologous subgroup and successfully applied to development of new single-sandwich ELISA systems for rapid subgrouping of human strains. All of the 344 strains tested could be subgrouped, but for two of them prior propagation in cell cultures was required.
