title: VP4 relationships between porcine and other rotavirus serotypes.
abstract: VP4 relationship of Australian porcine rotaviruses were identified using genetic reassortants and MAbs. All porcine virus isolates except BEN-144 appeared to share VP4 antigenicity with OSU virus. VP4 and BEN-144 virus (Gottfried-like virus) showed some antigenic relationships with the human neonatal viruses ST-3 and RV-3. In addition, VP4 of porcine CRW-8 showed antigenic relationships with simian SA-11. RRV and also canine K9 viruses, while that of porcine TFR-41 showed at least one way VP4 antigenic relatedness with UK bovine rotavirus. Furthermore, BMI-1 virus which is antigenically similar to an American virus SB1-A (a naturally occurring reassortant) may have arisen similarly by gene reassortment in nature in Australia.
