Abstract excerpt
The human Wa strain of rotaviruses, initially unable to grow in liver cells, was adapted by multiple passages to grow in HepG2 cells. The genome segment 4 of both the parental and passaged strains was cloned and sequenced. Five amino acid differences (residues 38, 120, 421, 525, and 618) were found in the HepG2-passaged variant compared to the parental Wa strain. Our results support the hypothesis that viral...
