Abstract excerpt
The polypeptide encoded by gene 3 of the IDIR strain of group B rotavirus (GBR) was synthesized by means of a baculovirus expression system. Immunoblot analysis identified the IDIR virus gene 3 product as analogous to the outer capsid protein, VP4, encoded by gene 4 of group A rotaviruses (GAR). This coding assignment had previously been difficult to establish by sequence comparisons, since IDIR virus gene 3...
