Abstract
An enzyme immunoassay utilizing neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to VP7 of four human group A rotavirus serotypes successfully typed rotaviruses in 71.4% (568 of 796) of fecal specimens. Sensitivity was enhanced by using homologous capture and detector antibodies. Serotyping was most successful with specimens stored for less than 3 years and containing 10(4) or more particles per ml.
