    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1990 Mar; 28(3):504-7. PubMed ID: 2157736.
    Abstract:
    Calf fecal rotavirus strains were serotyped in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, using monoclonal antibodies to the VP7s of serotypes 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 and to the VP4 of B223 (designated serotype 10). Sixty-six percent of 162 samples were typed as serotype 6, and 7% were serotyped as serotype 10. Most of the untyped strains did not react with a monoclonal antibody directed to a common VP7 epitope, indicating insufficient virus present in the samples. However, seven untyped samples that did react with this antibody were adapted to culture and typed, and six of these also proved to belong to serotype 6 or 10. Two of these viruses belonged to a monotype within serotype 6 that did not react with the serotype 6 monoclonal antibody. The seventh isolate reacted in cross-neutralization tests with serotype 8 viruses. Bovine rotaviruses from the United Kingdom, Federal Republic of Germany, and Japan that had been shown previously to be distinct from serotype 6 were compared in neutralization tests with B223 from the United States. These viruses proved to be a closely reacting group distinct from all other rotavirus serotypes, justifying the establishment of serotype 10 as the second major type of bovine rotavirus.
