Abstract excerpt
We previously described a marked increase in the pathogenicity of a cell culture grown porcine rotavirus, PRV 4F, during serial passage in gnotobiotic piglets (Bridger et al., 1992). Here we report close temporal correlation between this change in pathogenicity and an amino acid change within a highly conserved hydrophobic domain of VP4 at position 469. Cell culture grown PRV 4F is unique in having a hydrophilic...
