Abstract

Thirteen hybridomas secreting VP4-specific monoclonal antibodies against the Gottfried strain of porcine rotavirus (serotype 4) were produced and characterized. Nine of the hybridomas secreted neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (N-MAbs) against Gottfried rotavirus. These N-MAbs were divided into five distinct groups (groups I to V) according to their patterns of reactivity with different serotypes of human and animal rotaviruses. Group I N-MAbs (n = 3) were cross-reactive with five different serotypes of human rotavirus examined by a plaque reduction virus neutralization test. Group II N-MAbs (n = 3) neutralized all symptomatic human rotavirus serotypes tested and asymptomatic human rotavirus serotype 4 to a low titer. The single group III N-MAb neutralized mainly symptomatic human rotavirus serotypes 2 and 9 and none of the asymptomatic human rotavirus serotypes. The one N-MAb in group IV reacted at low titers with only asymptomatic human rotavirus serotypes 1 through 4. A group V N-MAb recognized serotype 4 porcine rotaviruses (Gottfried and SB-2) but no other human or animal rotaviruses examined. None of the N-MAbs recognized any animal rotaviruses tested (SA-11, RRV, OSU, NCDV, and B223), except for the Gottfried and SB-2 rotaviruses. The failure of N-MAbs (groups I to IV) to react with any animal rotaviruses tested but their ability to react variably with all human rotaviruses tested suggest that neutralizing epitopes on the VP4 protein are highly conserved between the Gottfried porcine and human rotaviruses. The Gottfried rotavirus may possibly represent a naturally occurring reassortant between pig and human rotaviruses or a rotavirus which is human in origin but pathogenic for swine.
