Three bovine rotavirus strains belonging to two distinct serotype groups, serotype 6 (NCDV and B641) and B223, distinct from the other six mammalian rotavirus serotypes but not yet assigned to a serotype group, were compared with each other and with canine rotavirus (K9, serotype 3) by studying the properties of their cognate polypeptide species VP4, VP6, and VP7. The three viruses showed distinct differences in the polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic migration rates of protein species VP4 and VP7, with minor differences in VP6. Differences were also observed among the migration patterns of genome segments 4, 6, and the 7-8-9 triplet, which encode VP4, VP6, and VP7, respectively. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to B223, which were directed against VP4 or VP7, showed homologous specificity for neutralization and immunofluorescence (IF), although one MAb reactive with VP4 also reacted by IF and by immunoprecipitation (IP) with all four viruses and weakly neutralized B641 and K9. This MAb may react with the epitope responsible for the B223-induced one-way neutralizing and protection response of calves against B641 observed in earlier studies. MAbs reactive with VP6 by IP showed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and IF reactivity with all three bovine viruses and the canine virus. The two serotype 6 viruses could be distinguished by the two B641 MAbs, B641-N2b reacting by neutralization and IF with both viruses and B641-N1 reacting with B641 and the serotype 3 canine rotavirus but not with NCDV. One nonneutralizing B641 MAb reacted by IP and IF with VP7 of all four rotaviruses examined, and one B223 MAb neutralized B223 and, to low titer, B641 and K9 although reacting by IP and IF with all four viruses. Three MAb-resistant mutants were selected by passage of B223 in the presence of one of three selected B223 MAbs at concentrations which only neutralized approximately 90% of the infectious virions. The resulting mutants were 100% resistant to neutralization with their respective MAb but remained neutralizable by the same selection of MAbs as the parent B223 virus.

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
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D011233 Precipitin Tests Serologic tests in which a positive reaction manifested by visible CHEMICAL PRECIPITATION occurs when a soluble ANTIGEN reacts with its precipitins, i.e., ANTIBODIES that can form a precipitate. Precipitin Test,Test, Precipitin,Tests, Precipitin
D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

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. Procapsid,Prohead,Capsids,Procapsids,Proheads

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

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.
