TL;DR: Seroconversions or concomitant antibody responses to type 1 or 4 rotav virus in most children with type 3 rotavirus infection suggested that immunity to heterotypic virus can be induced by aRotavirus vaccine.

TL;DR: Starting with a small amount of diarrheal feces containing human rotavirus (HRV), propagation of the virus using the roller culture technique with MA‐104 cells was succeeded and plaque purification resulted in the formation of clear, larger plaques.

TL;DR: Both sequence analysis of the VP7 open reading frame and binding to a G9-specific monoclonal antibody strongly suggest that U.S. G9 strains belong to serotype G9, which could suggest the emergence of new strains or inadequate diagnosis in the past.

TL;DR: The detection of femA and femB together withmecA by PCR was considered to be a more reliable indicator to identify MRSA by differentiating it from mecA-positive CNS than single detection of mecC.

TL;DR: By employing three strains of cultivable human rotaviruses with different serotype specificity as immunizing antigens, 11 hybridomas which secreted neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against human rotviruses were prepared and found that four serotype 2-specific and two commonly reactive antibodies were directed to VP3 on the outer shell of the virus particles.
