title: Serum rotavirus neutralizing-antibody titers compared by plaque reduction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based neutralization assays.
abstract: Comparisons in rotavirus neutralizing-antibody responses were made with sera collected from vaccinated infants. The methods were a plaque reduction assay and a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based neutralization assay. Agreement of 94% was found in detecting at least fourfold seroresponses, and correlation coefficients between titers obtained by the two methods showed excellent agreement, indicating that either could be used reliably.
