✦ Synopsis
Antibodies specific for the major outer capsid protein (VP7) of the simian rotavirus SAll were obtained by immunization of rabbits with a synthetic peptide, Ser-Ala-Ala-Phe-Tyr-Tyr-Arg-Val, corresponding to the eight carboxy-terminal amino acids of the viral protein predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the gene segment 9 of the SAll genome. As the carboxy-terminal region of the VP7 of human rotavirus Wa has an identical sequence, cross-reactivity of the raised antibodies was observed with this strain.
