Abstract excerpt
For selecting the neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (N-MAbs) directed to VP4 of rotavirus strain K8, which has unique VP4 neutralization epitopes, we prepared several reassortant viruses by mixed infection of two different strains K8 (serotype 1) and P (serotype 3) in vitro: three reassortant clones having VP4 of K8 and VP7 of P and four clones having VP4 of P and VP7 of K8. By using these reassortants in...
