Generation of recombinant rotavirus with an antigenic mosaic of cross-reactive neutralization epitopes on VP4.

چکیده
Recombinant rotavirus (RV) with cDNA-derived chimeric VP4 was generated using recently developed reverse genetics for RV. The rescued virus, KU//rVP4(SA11)-II(DS-1), contains SA11 (simian RV strain, G3P[2])-based VP4, in which a cross-reactive neutralization epitope (amino acids 381 to 401) on VP5* is replaced by the corresponding sequence of a different P-type DS-1 (human RV strain, G2P[4]). Serological analyses with a panel of anti-VP4- and -VP7-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies revealed that the rescued virus carries a novel antigenic mosaic of cross-reactive neutralization epitopes on its VP4 surface. This is the first report of the generation of a recombinant RV with artificial amino acid substitutions.

Antibody response to serotype-specific and cross-reactive neutralization epitopes on VP4 and VP7 after rotavirus infection or vaccination.
By using a competitive solid-phase immunoassay with serotype-specific and cross-reactive neutralizing monoclonal antibodies directed at VP4 and VP7, we tested the antibody responses to some neutralization epitopes on VP4 and VP7 in individuals infected or vaccinated with rotavirus. Antibody responses to VP7 epitopes of the infecting serotype of virus were found at a high frequency in both infan...

The humoral immune response to rhesus rotavirus (RRV) VP4 and its cleavage products VP5* and VP8* was determined in paired serum samples from 44 infants vaccinated with RRV or human rotavirus-RRV reassortants and 5 placebo recipients. Our aim was to try to measure the response to those regions of VP4 most closely related to protection. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to me...

Rotavirus is the single most important cause of severe diarrhea in humans and is diffuse in most animal species worldwide, and an understanding of the antigenic properties of the virus is essential to the design of rational vaccine strategies. To better understand the localization of viral epitopes involved in antibody-mediated neutralization of virus infectivity, we have orally immunized mice ...

Background: VP4 protein is as spikes on rotavirus outer capsid shell which is responsible for virus attachment to the host. VP4 induces production of neutralizing antibodies which could be used for serotyping of different isolates. Methods: Simian rotavirus SA11 gene 4 cDNA was cloned into a cloning plasmid pDONRTM by recombination reaction using clonase II enzyme mix. The resulting clone was c...
