Poliovirus antibody differentiation. Methods and application for strain specific diagnosis in complications after oral vaccination.

Differentiation both of cf. and neutralizing antibodies against poliovirus seems to be a suitable method for the discrimination of the causative virus strain-either wild type or attenuated- of the clinical disease. Antibody differentiation is not only a completion of the virus strain differentiation methods (marker tests) but is especially of value in those cases in which no virus could be obtained for characterization, when indemnity claims for vaccination incidents are to be evaluated.
