Abstract

A new commercial latex-agglutination test using a monoclonal antibody for detection of rotavirus (Slidex Rota-Kit 2) was compared with three other tests (Slidex Rota-Kit, Rotalex, Rotazyme II) using immunoelectron microscopy and a monoclonal enzyme immunoassay as reference tests. Slidex Rota-Kit 2 was more sensitive and specific than the other tests, and would thus appear to be a practical and accurate rotavirus assay for use in routine laboratory work.
