  • Title: Presence of three P types (VP4 serotypes) and two G types (VP7 serotypes) among bovine rotavirus strains.

    Journal: Arch Virol; 1990; 115(3-4):199-207. PubMed ID: 2175589.
    Abstract:
    Cross neutralization tests with a panel of rotavirus strains representing previously described nine VP7 (G) serotypes revealed that bovine rotavirus strain KK-3, a prototype Japanese bovine serotype 2, belonged to a new serotype (G10), confirming and extending the recent report of Snodgrass et al. [J. Clin. Microbiol. 28: 504-507 (1990)] which showed that hyperimmune serum to the KK-3 strain neutralized the B223 strain, a proposed type strain of G10. Further antigenic characteristics of the KK-3 strain, as well as the 0510 strain (a G6 strain isolated in Japan), were examined in terms of their VP4 (P) specificity. For the characterization of P types, we employed genetic reassortants that possess VP4 gene for UK and VP7 gene for D (G1), VP4 gene for NCDV and VP7 gene for SA11 (G3), or VP4 gene for SA11 and VP7 gene for NCDV (G6) in the plaque reduction neutralization assay with hyperimmune sera against these two Japanese strains and the prototype bovine rotavirus NCDV strain. While the 0510 strain had UK-like P and NCDV-like G types, the KK-3 strain had a distinct set of P and G types. Thus, at least three P types (NCDV-, UK-, and KK-3-like) and two G types (G6 and G10) are present among bovine rotavirus strains.
