Recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing wild type intracellular VP7 (VP7wt) from rotavirus SA11 or VP7sc, a cell surface-anchored variant, boosted antibody titres in SA11-immune mice. Pups born to these mice were protected from diarrhoea following challenge with SA11. In rotavirus-naive mice, two immunizations with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing VP7sc stimulated protective immunity that could be transferred to pups, whereas viruses expressing VP7wt did not stimulate protective immunity. Recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing intracellular or cell surface-anchored VP6, the rotavirus group-reactive antigen from the inner capsid, did not stimulate protective immunity. These experiments demonstrate that a live viral vector expressing cell surface anchored VP7 may represent a strategy for the development of safe, effective vaccines against rotavirus-induced diarrhoea.

D008892 Milk The off-white liquid secreted by the mammary glands of humans and other mammals. It contains proteins, sugar, lipids, vitamins, and minerals. Cow Milk,Cow's Milk,Milk, Cow,Milk, Cow's
D003967 Diarrhea An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight. Diarrheas
D005260 Female Females
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D000831 Animals, Newborn Refers to animals in the period of time just after birth. Animals, Neonatal,Animal, Neonatal,Animal, Newborn,Neonatal Animal,Neonatal Animals,Newborn Animal,Newborn Animals
D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D012400 Rotavirus Infections Infection with any of the rotaviruses. Specific infections include human infantile diarrhea, neonatal calf diarrhea, and epidemic diarrhea of infant mice. Infection, Rotavirus,Infections, Rotavirus,Rotavirus Infection
D012401 Rotavirus A genus of REOVIRIDAE, causing acute gastroenteritis in BIRDS and MAMMALS, including humans. Transmission is horizontal and by environmental contamination. Seven species (Rotaviruses A thru G) are recognized. Neonatal Calf Diarrhea Virus,Rotaviruses
