Abstract excerpt
Cross-reactive neutralization epitopes on VP4 of human rotavirus (HRV) were analyzed by the use of VP4-specific neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (N-MAbs) and MAb-resistant mutants. Seven anti-VP4 N-MAbs obtained in this study by using HRV serotypes 1 and 3 as immunizing antigens showed a variety of cross-reactivity patterns to 20 HRV strains with different serotype specificity in neutralization tests and a...
