Summary of Lysate, F, Ga, and Gb antibody EIA positivity in RSV PCR+ infants

EIA	Antibody positive in RSV PCR+ infants^a
EIA	No+/no tested	Median titer of positive sera	Gp A infection no+/no tested	Gp B infection no+/no tested
Lysate	117/118	5661	96/97	21/21
F	117/118	13,403	96/97	21/21
Ga	88/118	1166	86/97	2/21
Gb	51/118	360	34/97	17/21
Ga and Gb	36/118		34/97	2/21
Ga or Gb	103/118		86/97	17/21

Abbreviations: EIA, enzyme-linked immunoassay; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus.

These sera from118 PCR+ plus 108 from not PCR+ children were used for a sub study comparison of the RSV group A and B lysate antibody EIA to an RSV F, group RSV A G, and RSV group B G protein EIAs. The results for the RSV PCR+ group show the relative sensitivity for detecting infant infection with each of these EIAs.
