| reactions to and antigenicity of two human-rhesus rotavirus reassortant vaccine candidates of serotypes 1 and 2 in venezuelan infants. | the reactions to and antigenicity of two human-rhesus rotavirus (rrv) reassortants (human rotavirus strain d x rrv and human rotavirus strain ds1 x rrv) with the vp7 neutralization specificity of a serotype 1 or serotype 2 rotavirus were evaluated in a placebo-controlled double-blind trial in 116 1- to 5-month-old infants in caracas, venezuela. the children were randomly divided into five groups to receive orally the following inocula: (i) 10(4) pfu of d x rrv reassortant; (ii) 10(4) pfu of ds1 ... | 1989 | 2541168 |
| direct identification of serotypes of natural human rotavirus isolates by hybridization using cdna probes derived from segment 9 of the rotavirus genome. | under stringent hybridization conditions, cdna of segment 9 of the rotavirus genome, which codes for the viral protein vp7, permitted differentiation of serotypes of culture-grown rotaviruses and natural isolates of human rotaviruses directly from clinical specimens. this was evident for the following reasons. (i) the cdna of one serotype selectively hybridized with the rna of the same serotype of culture-grown rotaviruses. (ii) natural isolates of the virus thus identified as serotype 2 were al ... | 1989 | 2541169 |
| experience with an enzyme immunoassay for serotyping human group a rotaviruses. | an enzyme immunoassay utilizing neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to vp7 of four human group a rotavirus serotypes successfully typed rotaviruses in 71.4% (568 of 796) of fecal specimens. sensitivity was enhanced by using homologous capture and detector antibodies. serotyping was most successful with specimens stored for less than 3 years and containing 10(4) or more particles per ml. | 1989 | 2541171 |
| atypical rotavirus and villous epithelial cell syncytia in piglets. | histopathological examination of small and large intestine from piglets with enteritis has shown the presence of epithelial multinucleate syncytia. syncytia were associated with a specific type of atypical rotavirus infection, determined by electron microscopy and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of viral rna. the observations are consistent with similar previously described natural or experimental infections in other animals. | 1989 | 2541179 |
