Abstract excerpt

Sequence analysis of the gene encoding the major neutralization glycoprotein (VP7) was performed on 12 human isolates of serotype 1 of rotavirus in Japan and China. They were examined for genetic variations among serotype 1 isolates. Comparative studies of their nucleotide and deduced amino acid...
