Reactivity with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies suggested that neutralizing epitopes were functionally unaltered on the expressed VP4.
2
Moreover, two amino acid substitutions observed in the VP4 gene were conserved between two or more strain pairs.
3
WIN 52035-2 was found to inhibit the first step of uncoating, release of VP4.
4
The membrane permeability induced by recombinant VP4 was influenced by pH and was comparable to permeability induced by infectious virions.
5
The outer capsid proteins VP4 and VP7 are highly variable and represent the major neutralizing antigens.
6
In this study, we have produced recombinant C-terminal histidine-tagged human rhinovirus VP4 and shown it can induce membrane permeability in liposome model membranes.
7
The complete VP4 gene of porcine rotavirus strain OSU has been inserted into a baculovirus expression vector under the control of the polyhedrin promoter.
8
The VP4 produced in this system also induced antibodies in guinea pigs which inhibited hemagglutination of OSU and neutralized its infectivity to high titer.
9
Thirty percent of samples in this study were mixed infections and 21 (16.7%) specimens remained untypeable either for the VP7 or for the VP4 gene.
