A full-size cloned cDNA copy of the rotavirus gene encoding the structural neutralization glycoprotein (VP7) of Nebraska calf diarrhea virus (NCDV), a strain recently shown to be effective as a vaccine in children, has been sequenced. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of NCDV (serotype 6) VP7 with that of four other rotavirus strains (human WA serotype 1, human HU-5 serotype 2, simian SA-11 serotype 3, and bovine UK serotype 6) indicates that the degree of amino acid homology among VP7 neutralization proteins of these serotypes ranges from 75 to 86%. Four hydrophilic regions at amino acid residues 174-183, 248-256, 287-294, and 310-317 exhibit significant homology and hence may represent common antigenic determinants, while one hydrophilic area at amino acid residues 83-102 exhibits sufficient divergence to suggest it may be involved in serotype specificity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50). Neutralization Test,Test, Neutralization,Tests, Neutralization
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
