Rotavirus subunit vaccines are being evaluated for use in humans. The virus-like particles (VLPs) for these vaccines are produced in insect cells coinfected with combinations of baculovirus recombinants expressing bovine RIF VP2 and simian SA11, VP4, VP6, or VP7 rotavirus proteins. VLPs were administered parenterally to mice and rabbits, and the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of the vaccines were evaluated. Rabbits vaccinated with VP2/4/6/7 or VP2/6/7 VLP combinations developed high levels of rotavirus-specific serum antibody and fecal IgG but not fecal IgA. The induction of fecal IgG was associated with total or partial protection from oral challenge with ALA rotavirus. Heterotypic serum and fecal neutralizing antibody was induced in mice vaccinated parenterally with G1 VP2/6/7 or VP2/4/6n VLPs. VLPs were highly immunogenic when administered in QS21 adjuvant, inducing serum neutralizing antibody titers comparable to those induced by SA11 virus. VLPs are effective immunogens when administered parenterally and may be an effective subunit vaccine.

D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.
