“…The VP7 and VP4 proteins form the smooth outer capsid (G serotype) and short spike (P genotype), respectively, and are the major antigens inducing neutralizing immune responses during rotavirus infections. Although 14 different G serotypes and 21 P genotypes have been detected in humans, serotypes G1P [8], G2P [4], G3P [8], and G4P [8] are thought to be important causes of diarrhea in infants and young children worldwide (16,22).…”

Serotype G2 rotavirus strains were isolated in seven countries on the African continent during 1999 and 2000. To investigate the associated DS-1 genogroup characteristics, subgroup (VP6) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and P genotyping were performed on 10 G2 strains. The antigenic and genetic variation of the gene encoding the major neutralization glycoprotein (VP7) was also investigated by using G2-specific monoclonal antibodies and sequence analysis. Alterations in the characteristic DS-1 genogroup gene constellations were more likely to occur in the VP4 gene, and three genotypes were observed: P[4], P[6], and a dual P[4]-P[6] type. The failure of G2-specific monoclonal antibodies to type African G2 strains was more likely due to improper storage of the original stool, although G2 monotypes were detected. Phylogenetic analyses revealed clusters of serotype G2 strains that were more commonly associated with seasons during which G2 was predominant. No rotavirus vaccine trials have been conducted in an area where G2 strains were the predominant circulating serotype, and the continued surveillance of rotavirus epidemics in Africa will be preparation for future vaccine implementation in an area that clearly needs these preventative medicines.

“…VP6 is highly antigenic and contains antigenic determinants shared by all group A rotaviruses and antigenic determinants unique to the subgroup specificity. In general, most animal group A rotaviruses (including SA11) are subgroup I, whereas most human group A rotaviruses (including Wa) are subgroup II (34). The surface layer of the rotavirus capsid is composed of VP7 with VP4 spikes emanating from the outer surface (26).…”

“…The surface layer of the rotavirus capsid is composed of VP7 with VP4 spikes emanating from the outer surface (26). VP7 and VP4 independently induce virus-neutralizing (VN) antibodies (34). Diversity in VP4 and VP7 neutralizing antigenic determinants determines rotavirus P and G serotype specificity, respectively.…”

We investigated the immunogenicity of recombinant double-layered rotavirus-like particle (2/6-VLPs) vaccines derived from simian SA11 or human (VP6) Wa and bovine RF (VP2) rotavirus strains. The 2/6-VLPs were administered to gnotobiotic pigs intranasally (i.n.) with a mutant Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin, LT-R192G (mLT) Rotaviruses are the leading cause of gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide (37). Rotavirus particles consist of triple-layered capsids containing a segmented double-stranded RNA genome. The rotavirus core is composed of VP2, which is the most abundant protein of the central core (15% of total virion mass) and a component of the RNA polymerase complex (26). The rotavirus major inner capsid protein is VP6, which is the most abundant structural protein of rotavirus (Ͼ50% of total virion mass) (26). VP6 is highly antigenic and contains antigenic determinants shared by all group A rotaviruses and antigenic determinants unique to the subgroup specificity. In general, most animal group A rotaviruses (including SA11) are subgroup I, whereas most human group A rotaviruses (including Wa) are subgroup II (34). The surface layer of the rotavirus capsid is composed of VP7 with VP4 spikes emanating from the outer surface (26). VP7 and VP4 independently induce virus-neutralizing (VN) antibodies (34). Diversity in VP4 and VP7 neutralizing antigenic determinants determines rotavirus P and G serotype specificity, respectively.,The viral proteins and determinants associated with protective immunity against rotavirus have not been fully delineated. Fecal or intestinal immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies or antibody-secreting cells (ASC) directed to rotavirus were suggested as correlates of protection in several studies of different species, including humans (15,20,28,42,64,71). Neutralizing antibodies to VP4 and VP7 were protective against rotavirus infection in mice, using monoclonal antibodies or recombinant

O objetivo do estudo foi realizar a caracterização sorológica e molecular em amostras de rotavírus suíno na região Sul do Brasil. Para sua realização, foram colhidas 167 amostras de fezes de suínos nas fases de maternidade e creche em 52 granjas de produção de suínos que apresentavam freqüentes casos de diarréia, em 14 municípios dos Estados do Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina e Paraná, durante o período compreendido entre junho de 1995 e outubro de 1997. Todas as amostras foram submetidas a um ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA) para a detecção de rotavírus do grupo A, das quais 59 (35,33%) foram positivas. Por meio da eletroforese em gel de poliacrilamida (PAGE) foi possível revelar a existência de um único eletroferótipo de rotavírus suíno nas regiões estudadas. As amostras positivas foram testadas para a caracterização de subgrupo por meio de um ELISA com anticorpos monoclonais (mAb-ELISA), onde 9 amostras foram específicas para o subgrupo ll e 50 não reagiram para nenhum dos subgrupos, sendo classificadas como nãoI-nãoII. Para a caracterização de genótipos G e P utilizou-se a técnica de transcrição reversa, seguida da reação em cadeia da polimerase (RT-PCR) com primers específicos para rotavírus de suínos, bovinos e humanos. As amostras foram caracterizadas como genótipos G3, G4, G5, G9, G10 e P[6], P[7] e misturas de P[6] + P[7] no mesmo animal. Este estudo evidenciou a existência de diferentes genótipos de rotavírus suínos, circulando ao mesmo tempo em uma mesma região e ou em uma mesma granja, incluindo o genótipo G9 que até o último ano tinha sido encontrado somente em amostras humanas.
