Genetic mapping indicates that VP4 is the rotavirus cell attachment protein in vitro and in vivo
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
To identify the rotavirus protein which mediates attachment to cells in culture, viral reassortants between the simian rotavirus strain RRV and the murine strains EHP and EW or between the simian strain SA-11 and the human strain DS-1 were isolated. These parental strains differ in the requirement for sialic acid to bind and infect cells in culture. Infectivity and binding assays with the parental and reassortant...
