title: [Use of kinetic hemagglutination inhibition test in study of antigenic relationships of hantavirus strains circulating in foci of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Southern Far East of Russia].
abstract: The kinetics of reaction between hemagglutinating antigens and immune sera to 10 hantavirus strains (7 isolated in the Primorye territory and 3 in other regions) was studied in the cross kinetic hemagglutination inhibition (KHAI) test. An A parameter is suggested for evaluation of the similarity and differences between the studied strains. This parameter helped detect antigenic differences between Hantaan and Seoul viruses and the inter-type differences between Hantaan-like strains. KHAI is more specific than HAI studies of antigenic relationships between strains of different hantavirus serotypes.
