Hemagglutination and hemagglutination-inhibition studies with a strain of Nebraska calf diarrhea virus (bovine rotavirus).
A hemagglutinin has been prepared from Nebraska calf diarrhea virus (NCDV) propagated in BS-C-1 cell line. After cesium chloride centrifugation, the hemagglutinin of the bovine rotavirus was found to be associated with intact virions (density 1.355 g/ml) but not with virions lacking an outer capsid layer (density 1.375 g/ml). In hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) tests, the hemagglutinin reacted specifically with NCDV serum, and HAI seroconversions were detected in some sera tested. Cross-reactions were observed in complement fixation tests between the human and bovine rotaviruses but were not demonstrated by HAI, suggesting that the hemagglutinin detects a specific rather than a group antibody response.
