Abstract excerpt
Rotavirus variants resistant to neutralization were selected using monoclonal antibodies (N-MAbs) raised to VP7 of rotavirus G types 2, 3, and 6. Their neutralization resistance patterns and deduced VP7 amino acid sequences were obtained. Variants selected by two G2-specific N-MAbs from the homologous parent virus RV-5 showed single amino acid (aa) mutations in the antigenic A region. However, variants selected...
