Does a hybridization assay using cloned cDNA copies of rotavirus genome segments improve the diagnosis and differentiation of rotavirus in clinical specimens compared to standard diagnostic tests?
Cloned cDNA copies of rotavirus genome segments offer a sensitive and specific method for diagnosing rotavirus and differentiating viral strains in clinical and epidemiological studies.
Lin et al. (1985) studied this question.
