title: Diagnostic tests for poliovirus infection: a comparison of neutralization and immunofluorescence for the identification and typing of stool isolates.
abstract: Neutralization and indirect immunofluorescence were compared for the identification and serotyping of poliovirus. Indirect immunofluorescence was highly concordant with neutralization and offers a more rapid procedure for identification and characterization of poliovirus strains.
