Abstract

A cDNA copy of the gene coding for the major outer neutralizing protein (VP7) of simian 11 rotavirus was incorporated into the vaccinia virus genome under the control of the vaccinia promoter (molecular weight, 7,500). A deletion mutant of this gene which codes for a secreted form of VP7 when expressed under the control of the simian virus 40 late promoter (M. S. Poruschynsky, C. Tyndall, G. W. Both, F. Sato, A. R. Bellamy, and P. H. Atkinson, J. Cell Biol. 101:2199-2209, 1985) was also inserted. Each recombinant vaccinia virus directed the synthesis of a rotavirus protein in infected cells, and the product encoded by the mutated gene was secreted. Rabbits immunized with the two types of recombinant vaccinia virus generated antibodies that were able both to recognize simian 11 rotavirus in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and to neutralize the virus in a plaque-reduction test. Antibodies induced by the recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing either form of VP7 were serotype specific.
