All samples were tested for HuCV by a novel ELISA specific for noroviruses based on pools of sera obtained from rabbits and guinea pigs hyperimmunized with a total of 9 different norovirus capsids (12) and by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeting conserved sequences in the polymerase region of HuCVs (9). ProtiOne is based on two technologies -- spray-dried plasma, the standard that has been widely used for more than 10 years, and hyperimmunized eggs, a new technology that compliments the known effectiveness of plasma.
