Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) generated in mice orally inoculated with rotaviruses lyse target cells infected with different rotavirus serotypes (cross-reactive CTLs). Using vaccinia virus recombinants expressing individual rotavirus proteins from two different rotavirus serotypes, we found that cross-reactive CTLs recognize target cells expressing outer capsid protein vp7 better than those expressing outer capsid protein vp4 or inner capsid protein vp6. These findings may be relevant to vaccine strategies which include immunization with reassortant rotaviruses or viral or bacterial vectors expressing individual rotavirus proteins. The region or regions of vp7 which are antigenically conserved among different rotavirus serotypes and recognized by cross-reactive CTLs remain to be determined.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D002213 Capsid The outer protein protective shell of a virus, which protects the viral nucleic acid. Capsids are composed of repeating units (capsomers or capsomeres) of CAPSID PROTEINS which when assembled together form either an icosahedral or helical shape.

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.
