As part of the surveillance system, rotavirus antigens (group A rotavirus-specific VP6 proteins) were detected in the stool specimens using a solid-phase sandwich-type enzyme immunoassay modeled after the Dakopatts commercial kit (Dakopatts, Copenhagen, Denmark), incorporating rabbit hyperimmune antisera produced at ICDDR,B and an anti-human rotavirus--horseradish peroxidase conjugate. In industrialized countries pregnant mothers are screened for hepatitis B surface antigen, and infants are treated with specific hyperimmune globulin and HBV vaccine, but in developing countries only the routine immunization of infants with HBV vaccine is possible and breast-feeding is still recommended (WHO 1996a). Products include albumin; intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG); hyperimmune globulin; various coagulation factor products including Factor VIII and Factor IX; alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor; antithrombin III; and biosurgery products. |
