Three different serotypes of human rotavirus determined using an interference test with coxsackievirus B 1.
MA104 cells were used to titrate human rotavirus, and its capacity to render the cells resistant to coxsackievirus B 1 infection enabled us to determine easily the infectious titer of three prototype human rotaviruses. When rabbit antisera prepared against these prototype viruses were used for the neutralization test, the viruses could be discriminated from each other by a specific neutralization test.
