Key Points
- This research aims to produce monoclonal antibodies that specifically identify subgroups of human rotaviruses.
- Monoclonal antibodies were prepared against human rotavirus strains S2 and YO isolated in cell culture.
- An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed using three monoclonal antibodies (S2-37, YO-5, and YO-156) for detecting and subgrouping the viruses.
- Agglutination tests were performed to confirm the specificity of the monoclonal antibodies.
- Monoclonal antibodies S2-37 and YO-5 were specific to subgroup I and subgroup II respectively.
- Antibodies like S2-65 and YO-156 were broadly reactive with all rotavirus strains tested.
- The developed assay allows distinguishing between different rotavirus subgroups, enhancing detection capabilities.
