	abstract = {An unpassaged, safety-tested strain (CJN) of human rotavirus from a stool specimen of a hospitalized child was administered orally to 62 adult volunteers for determination of the dose required to produce infection with or without illness. Subjects ingested doses ranging from 9 X 10(-3) to 9 X 10(4) focus-forming units in buffered salt solution after consumption of 50 ml of 4\% NaHCO3. The amount of virus in the inoculum required to cause infection (shedding of virus, seroconversion, or both) in study subjects was comparable to the minimum detectable in cultures of primary monkey kidney cells. Seventeen of 30 infected subjects became ill with doses equivalent to that required for infection. Although the preinoculation titers of serum neutralizing antibody to the challenge virus in study subjects ranged from less than 1:2 to 1:1,600, the concentration of serum antibody could not be correlated with protection from infection or illness in subjects given an infectious dose of virus.},
