Archives of Virology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Four group A human rotaviruses having antigenic specificity of subgroup I and ‘long’ RNA electropherotype were isolated in MA104 cell cultures. Cross-neutralization tests with hyperimmune antisera suggested that they are serologically distinct from the six previously recognized human rotavirus serotypes.
