| production of coproantibodies and immune complexes in piglets infected with rotavirus. | the local immune response of newborn piglets to experimental infection with rotavirus was analyzed by means of coproantibodies, immune complexes, and the detection of rotavirus. immune complexes appeared in the feces on day 4 after inoculation when the production of rotavirus began to decrease; they reached a peak when no rotavirus could be detected in the feces. the presence of free iga and igm antibodies to rotavirus could be demonstrated on day 7 when the immune complexes had already reached ... | 1983 | 6298316 |
| induction of cross-reactive serum neutralizing antibody to human rotavirus in calves after in utero administration of bovine rotavirus. | sera from calves infected in utero or postnatally with bovine rotavirus ncdv or postnatally with human rotavirus d (serotype 1) were tested by plaque reduction neutralization assay for antibody to bovine rotavirus and to three serotypes of human rotavirus. homologous antibody developed in all animals, but antibody to heterologous rotaviruses developed mainly in animals exposed in utero to bovine rotavirus. the development of heterologous antibody may explain the immunological implications for cr ... | 1983 | 6313744 |
| isolation and characterization of an equine rotavirus. | a rotavirus, designated as the h-1 strain, was isolated from a diarrheic foal in primary african green monkey kidney cells and ma104 cells. this cell culture-adapted strain hemagglutinated erythrocytes of human group o, rhesus monkeys, guinea pigs, and sheep. it was found to be similar, if not identical, to porcine rotaviruses (strains osu, ee, and a-580) by plaque reduction neutralization and hemagglutination inhibition tests, and, in addition, it was found to belong to subgroup 1. this equine ... | 1983 | 6313746 |
| rotavirus as a cause of severe gastroenteritis in adults. | rotavirus was identified as the only etiological agent in 5% of adults (28 of 526) with diarrhea who were admitted to bamrasnaradura hospital in nonthaburi, thailand, during a 1-year period. infection was determined by detection of rotavirus in diarrheal stools by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay accompanied by a greater than fourfold rise in serum complement fixation and radioimmunoassay antibody titers to rotavirus. adults with clinical rotavirus infections were as severely ill as patients wi ... | 1983 | 6313748 |
| avidin-biotin radioimmunoassay for human rotavirus. | rias have a number of advantages which make them ideally suited for use in diagnostic microbiology. these advantages include sensitivity, objectivity, and versatility. however, the widespread application of rias has been limited by the instability of the reagents required for the performance of available solid-phase rias. the relatively short half-life of gamma-emitting isotopes is particularly a problem in cases where multiple antigens must be assayed, since distinct radioactively labeled reage ... | 1983 | 6313823 |
