Serological and genomic characterization of two porcine rotaviruses with serotype G1 specificity

Abstract

Two porcine rotavirus strains, C60 and C95, which had been previously shown to be reactive in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with serotype G1-specific monoclonal antibodies, were classified as G1 by cross- neutralization tests and on the basis of the homology of the sequenced VP7 gene. This report confirms that porcine rotavirus strains with a G1 serotype occur in nature.
