Infection of cell cultures with human rotavirus preparations was attempted and the effects of trypsin and low-speed centrifugation on antigen incorporation, as demonstrated by immunofluorescence and radioimmunoassay, were determined. In addition, the effect of viral aggregation on antigen incorporation was investigated by filtering viral preparations. Four strains of human rotavirus were employed, and the results were compared to those obtained with two tissue culture-adapted animal rotaviruses. Centrifugation and trypsin appeared to have little or no effect on infectivity of the tissue culture-adapted (simian rotavirus) or -adaptable (Nebraska calf diarrhea virus) strains, whereas centrifugation and viral aggregation appeared to be essential for the human viruses. In addition, trypsin enhanced antigen incorporation of the human strains to some extent. Infectivity for cell cultures and in vitro human rotavirus protein formation was demonstrated by [35S]methionine incorporation, and the specificity of this human viral protein was established by radio-immunoprecipitation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002498 Centrifugation Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects. (From Websters, 10th ed; McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
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
