Expression and characterization of bovine rotavirus proteins in the baculovirus system

Abstract

INFORMATION TO USERSThis manuscript has been reproduced from the microfihn master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter fece, while others may be from any type of computer printer.The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction.In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion.Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book.

Isolation and detection of rotavirus by Enzyme linked Immune assay in fecal specimens of buffalo calves

“…(2). Rotavirus particles are non-enveloped, are triple-layered, measure around 75 nm in diameter by electron microscopic examination (3)(4)(5). There are eight types of this infection defined as A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. The young buffalo and cattle calves essentially contaminated by species A, B and C. The surface of virus composed of two proteins VP4 and Vp7, which are essential in serotyping assurance (5).…”
