Serological characterization of a hantavirus from Hubei, China
Abstract
Hantavirus HV114, isolated from urine of a patient during epidemic of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in China, was subjected to a detailed serological characterization using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), neutralization test and indirect immunofluorescence antibody assay (IFA). It has been found that HV114 is antigenically similar to the hantavirus A9 strain isolated in China and to the Hantaan 76-118 virus (HTNV 76-118), but different from the hantaviruses isolated from Apodemus agrarius in the region endemic for HFRS.
