Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays adapted for serotyping of human rotavirus strains.

Five enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay systems were adapted for serotyping human rotavirus strains and were compared with a sensitive complement fixation test in terms of specificity and sensitivity. The assays differed mainly with regard to the antibody systems involved in the double sandwich. Serotype differentiation of 34 rotavirus strains was achieved by determining a neutralization endpoint titer, either with a constant antiserum-varying antigen dilution method or vice versa. The procedure which proved to be highly specific and sensitive was one with two type-specific hyperimmune sera (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system 5) instead of only one, as in the four other systems.

Routine diagnosis of human rotaviruses in stools.

Electron microscopy, immune electron microscopy and complement fixation as methods of detecting rotavirus in the stools of young children with gastroenteritis were compared in a blind study during the winter of 1975-6. Complement fixation was the simplest to perform, was as sensitive as the other two, and allowed a quantitative measurement of viral excretion. Absorption of faecal extracts with fetal calf serum usually removed the anticomplementary activity of faecal extracts.

A new display technique for computer-processed digital scans.

This article presents a new approach for presenting scintigraphic images. The technique combines the conventional plotting the contour lines and the highlighting, by means of hatching, of the concavities (or convexities) of the 'surface' representative of radioactive distribution. The search for the surface features is achieved generally by the method of normal curvatures. An example with a phantom demonstrates the utility of this representation method.
