HI test may serve as practical alternative for rhinovirus serology in volunteers; leaves open prospective validation against modern neutralization assays.
Is the hemagglutination-inhibition test as sensitive as neutralization tests for detecting antirhinovirus antibodies in volunteers?
The hemagglutination-inhibition test is a sensitive and relevant method for detecting serotype-specific antibodies and assessing protection against rhinovirus infection.
Reed et al. (1973) studied this question.
