Abstract

We prepared monoclonal antibodies against two serotypically distinct rotavirus strains: Wa, a serotype 1 virus of human origin, and rhesus rotavirus, a simian serotype 3 virus. Monoclonal antibodies which react specifically with VP7 of each serotype were identified by hemagglutination inhibition tests, plaque reduction neutralization studies, and solid-phase immunoassays which used wild-type and reassortant strains of rotavirus. An enzyme-linked immunoassay was designed which utilizes two of these antibodies to correctly identify serotype 1 and serotype 3 viruses.
