In 1999, a tetravalent rhesus-based rotavirus vaccine was withdrawn from the market after reports of intussusception cases among vaccinated infants. Methods to detect rotavirus in formalin-fixed pathology specimens from such patients will be important in examining the possible associations between the vaccine and intussusception, in investigating fatalities caused by natural rotavirus infection, and in furthering our understanding of the pathogenesis of rotavirus disease. Three different methods, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and in situ hybridization (ISH), were developed to detect rotavirus in infected cell lines that were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin.

The alkaline phospholipase A2 (PLA2) was purified from nuclei of rat ascites hepatoma cells (AH7974) by column chromatography with a Sephacryl S-300 column and an immunoadsorbent using anti-group II PLA2 monoclonal antibody. From these two columns, the alkaline PLA2 was eluted in parallel with a 17-kDa protein which is reactive to another anti-group II PLA2 polyclonal antibody. Approximately 80% of nuclear PLA2 was inhibited by this antibody.

Background: Group II allergens are a major cause of sensitization in patients allergic to mites. To facilitate the antigenic analysis of group II allergens and to develop improved methods of allergen detection, we compared IgG anti-group II antibody responses in inbred mouse strains and raised a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).
Methods: IgE antibody responses were compared by antigen-binding radioimmunoassay.

Group A bovine rotaviruses (BRV) have been identified worldwide as a major cause of diarrhea in the young of many species, including humans. Group A rotaviruses are classified into serotypes on the basis of the outer capsid proteins, VP7 (G types) and VP4 (P types). To date, there are 14 G types of group A rotaviruses, with G1, G6, G8, and G10 described for BRV isolates.
