Generation of Recombinant Rotavirus with an Antigenic Mosaic of Cross-Reactive Neutralization Epitopes on VP4
24 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Recombinant rotavirus (RV) with cDNA-derived chimeric VP4 was generated using recently developed reverse genetics for RV. The rescued virus, KU//rVP4(SA11)-II(DS-1), contains SA11 (simian RV strain, G3P[2])-based VP4, in which a cross-reactive neutralization epitope (amino acids 381 to 401) on VP5* is replaced by the corresponding sequence of a different P-type DS-1 (human RV strain, G2P[4]). Serological analyses...
