Complement fixation (CF), indirect double-antibody sandwich (DAS) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and solid-phase immune electron microscopy (SPIEM) were compared for their ability to subgroup 73 human rotavirus (HRV) strains from infants and young children with gastroenteritis admitted to one or the other of two different hospitals of Northern Italy. By both indirect DAS ELISA and SPIEM all 73 HRV strains were classified into one or the other of two subgroups. By CF only 67 strains could be subgrouped, as six HRV-positive stools showed anticomplementary activity which could not be eliminated. Indirect DAS ELISA required subgroup-specific, unabsorbed antisera from two different animal species. For SPIEM two antisera from a single animal species were needed, but they had to be absorbed with single-shelled bovine rotavirus for HRV subgrouping to be reliable. Indirect DAS ELISA appeared to be the technique most suitable for extensive application in epidemiological studies of HRV infections by different subgroups. However, SPIEM allowed rapid subgrouping of HRV in stool specimens showing anticomplementary activity in the CF test or non-specific reactions in the ELISA test. In one area of Northern Italy the prevalence of subgroup I HRV infections was 7.8 per cent, while in another it reached 68.1 per cent in the same period.

D007158 Immunologic Techniques Techniques used to demonstrate or measure an immune response, and to identify or measure antigens using antibodies. Antibody Dissociation,Immunologic Technic,Immunologic Technics,Immunologic Technique,Immunological Technics,Immunological Techniques,Technic, Immunologic,Technics, Immunologic,Technique, Immunologic,Techniques, Immunologic,Antibody Dissociations,Dissociation, Antibody,Dissociations, Antibody,Immunological Technic,Immunological Technique,Technic, Immunological,Technics, Immunological,Technique, Immunological,Techniques, Immunological
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.

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.
