Abstract excerpt

We previously reported non-random selections of human rotavirus (HRV) Wa genes 2 and 5 in reassortant formation between HRV strains Wa and HN126 under selection pressure with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. In order to study whether or not these genes are preferentially selected in the geneti...
