✦ Synopsis

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for diagnosing human coronavirus (HCV) infections in children. One hundred and seventy seven nose swabs, throat swabs, and nasopharyngeal aspirates were collected from 30 children suffering from acute respiratory infections. These samples were tested for HCV antigens by ELISA and 28.2% of the samples were shown to be HCV positive. These results indicate that our ELISA should prove useful in the diagnosis of HCV infections in children. Further studies are in progress to extend the ELISA to detect HCVs in experimentally and naturally acquired infections in adults.

For immunodiagnosis of kala-azar enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescence testing (IFAT) are commonly used. In IFAT, whole parasite antigen and in ELISA the soluble antigen have been used. Preparation of ELISA antigen has certain inherent difficulties. We have developed a sim

## Abstract An antigen‐capture enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the diagnosis of Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) using a novel monoclonal antibody, 1B7, to the recombinant nucleoprotein (rNP) of CCHF virus (CCHFV) Chinese strain 8402. This ELISA detected at least 2
