Key result

Indirect fluorescent antibody staining revealed extensive cross-reactions among picornaviruses, with heterologous reactions being almost as strong as homologous reactions.

Implication

Cross-reactivity may limit IFA specificity for picornavirus typing; leaves open need for type-specific diagnostics in research and practice.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Green monkey kidney cells infected with picornaviruses (poliovirus type 1, 2, and 3; echovirus type 3, 9, and 11; and coxsackievirus type A9 and B5)
E
Exposure
Indirect method of fluorescent antibody staining
O
Outcome
Degree of cross-reactions

Demonstrates extensive cross-reactivity among picornaviruses using indirect fluorescent antibody staining.

Cite This Study

Chaudhary et al. (1970) studied Picornavirus cross-reactions. Indirect method of fluorescent antibody staining was evaluated on Degree of cross-reactions within the picornavirus group. Indirect fluorescent antibody staining revealed extensive cross-reactions among picornaviruses, with heterologous reactions being almost as strong as homologous reactions.
