title: Expression of the gene coding for the major outer capsid protein of SA-11 rotavirus in a baculovirus system.
abstract: The gene coding for the major outer capsid protein (VP7) of simian rotavirus SA-11 has been expressed in a baculovirus-insect cell system. The resulting protein is 35 kDa and is primarily associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. Neutralizing SA-11 polyclonal antiserum and VP7 monospecific antiserum reacted specifically with the expressed gene product. Antiserum derived against the recombinant VP7 protein neutralized SA-11 rotavirus infectivity in a fluorescent focus assay.
