Isolation and Characterization of Enteroviruses from Clinical Samples

Protocol
Part of the Methods in Molecular Biology book series (MIMB, volume 1387)

Abstract

Enterovirus infections are common in humans worldwide. Enteroviruses are excreted in feces during infection and can be detected from stool specimens by isolation in continuous laboratory cell lines. Characterization of enteroviruses is based on their antigenic and/or genetic properties.
