With a reassortant from a cross of human rotavirus DS-1 (serotype 2) and OSU (serotype 5) it was determined that the OSU major neutralization glycoprotein antigen (VP7) was encoded by gene segment 9. A full-sized cloned cDNA copy of the OSU gene 9 was produced and sequenced. Hybridization of such labelled cDNA with the corresponding segment of a reassortant DS-1 X OSU virus confirmed the coding assignment. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the VP7 of OSU with those previously determined for five other rotavirus strains, representing four distinct serotypes, revealed some hydrophilic regions that exhibited significant homology and other hydrophilic domains with greater amino acid divergence. In one of the latter hydrophilic domains each of the five serotypes had a distinct amino acid substitution at residue 146, suggesting that it may be involved in serotype specificity.
