Using immunofluorescence and neutralization assays, we detected antibodies to human severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and/or animal SARS-CoV-like virus in 17 (1.8%) of 938 adults recruited in 2001. This finding suggests that a small proportion of healthy persons in Hong Kong had been exposed to SARS-related viruses at least 2 years before the recent SARS outbreak.
通过免疫荧光和中和试验,我们在2001年招募的938名成年人中的17人(1.8%)体内检测到了针对人类严重急性呼吸综合征相关冠状病毒(SARS-CoV)和/或动物类SARS-CoV病毒的抗体。这一发现表明,在最近SARS爆发至少两年前,香港一小部分健康人曾接触过与SARS相关的病毒。
