Diagnostic tests for poliovirus infection: a comparison of neutralization and immunofluorescence for the identification and typing of stool isolates.
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.
