A randomized, double-blind trial was performed to assess serological response and clinical protection for acute gastroenteritis due to rotavirus in 103 children aged 6 to 18 months, after a single dose of RIT 4237 live attenuated bovine rotavirus vaccine or placebo. Seroconversion, determined by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA), was significantly greater in initially seronegative vaccines compared with control group (p less than 0.0001); clinical protection rate was low in this study group and it is therefore concluded that seroconversion by itself is not sufficient to measure vaccine efficacy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
