摘要
By using a competitive solid-phase immunoassay with serotype-specific and cross-reactive neutralizing monoclonal antibodies directed at VP4 and VP7, we tested the antibody responses to some neutralization epitopes on VP4 and VP7 in individuals infected or vaccinated with rotavirus. Antibody responses to VP7 epitopes of the infecting serotype of virus were found at a high frequency in both infants and children. In contrast, antibody responses to VP4 and heterotypic VP7 were observed only when the individuals possessed antibodies to any serotype of rotavirus in their acute-phase or prevaccination sera.
