Abstract excerpt
Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies 2F1 and 1C10, which are specific for VP7 of serotype 2 rotaviruses (G2), were used to select neutralization escape variants of the human serotype 2 rotavirus, DS-1. Neutralization survival patterns generated by monoclonal antibodies 2F1, 1C10, and RV5:3 indicated that 2F1 and 1C10 did not recognize identical epitopes. Direct sequencing of PCR products of gene 8, encoding VP7,...
