conclusions therefore the non-infectious dlps were became infectious if introduced into the cytoplasm of permissive and cancerous cells, without passing attachment and entry process. results we attempt to avoid the attachment and entry of the rotavirus by using lipofectamine to mediate the delivery of viral particles directly into the cytoplasm. dlp was endocytosed into the cytoplasm following ...

Rotavirus infections are the most common causes of infectious diarrhea in young children worldwide. We performed a genotyping rotavirus strains by RT-PCR for G (VP7) and P (VP4), Anadara tuberculosa, Lactuca sativa feces samples with collected Panama. Combinations genotypes (VP4) were identified tuberculosa: 30 (15%) corresponding to G12P[8], 26 (13%) G12P[6], 28 (14%) G1P[8], 7 (3.5%) G2P [6]....

G9P[6] and G9P[8] rotavirus strains were identified during 1995/96 through the molecular epidemiological surveillance of rotavirus strains circulating in the UK between 1995 and 1998. An increase in the incidence and spread of sporadic infections with rotavirus genotype G9P[8] across the UK was detected in the two following seasons. Partial sequencing of the VP7 gene showed that all the UK stra...

The purpose of the present study was to develop a quantitative assay that could be used to measure the local and systemic immune responses to specific rotavirus proteins following rotavirus infection of adult mice. To measure these responses, we used an immunocytochemical staining assay of Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf-9) cells which were infected with recombinant baculovirus expressing selected ro...

Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) is a causative agent of haemorrhagic disease in grass carp that drastically affects grass carp aquaculture. Here we report a novel GCRV isolate isolated from sick grass carp that induces obvious cytopathic effect in CIK cells and name it as GCRV096. A large number of GCRV 096 viral particles were found in the infected CIK cells by electron microscope. The shape, size ...

AIM The aim of the present study was to carry out antigenic detection of bluetongue virus (BTV) among the small ruminant population of two different geographical regions of Odisha (coastal and central) using recombinant VP7 (r-VP-7) based sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (s-ELISA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples (n=274) were collected from two different geographical pockets of ...

Two new human rotavirus (HRV) strains, PA151 and PA169, with subgroup I specificity and a long RNA pattern, yet with a serotype G (VP7) specificity different from those of any of the six well-established HRV serotypes (G1 to G4, G8, and G9), were isolated 3 months apart from two children with acute gastroenteritis in Sicily, southern Italy, in the winter season of 1987 and 1988. The HRV isolate...

Rotavirus assembly is a multistep process that requires the successive association of four major structural proteins in three concentric layers. It has been assumed until now that VP4, the most external viral protein that forms the spikes of mature virions, associates with double-layer particles within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in conjunction with VP7 and with the help of a nonstructural p...

In 1983, we isolated a porcine rotavirus (strain YM) that was prevalent in several regions of Mexico, as judged by the frequency of its characteristic electropherotype. By a focus reduction neutralization test, rotavirus YM was clearly distinguished from prototype rotavirus strains belonging to serotypes 1 (Wa), 2 (S2), 3 (SA11), 4 (ST3), 5 (OSU), and 6 (NCDV). Minor, one-way cross-neutralizati...

Rotaviruses (RV) in stools of children with diarrhea in Thailand were serotyped by monoclonal enzyme immunoassay (MEIA), and RNA extracted from these specimens were tested for hybridization with oligonucleotides constructed from the nucleotide sequences of VP7 of human serotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Of 178 specimens that contained RV as identified with a monoclonal antibody to group A RV, 84% (149/1...
