Antibody responses to norovirus genogroup GI.1 and GII.4 proteases in volunteers administered Norwalk virus.

ABSTRACT: An assay was developed to detect antibodies against two norovirus proteases among participants in a Norwalk virus (GI.1) challenge study. Prechallenge seroprevalence was lower against the protease from the homologous GI.1 virus than against protease from a heterologous GII.4 strain. Seroresponses were detected for 14 of 19 (74%) infected persons.
