Abstract  

Infections of rotaviruses are the primary cause of severe infantile gastroenteritis worldwide. VP4 is one of the major antigenic protein of the virus. VP4 has an essential role during the early interactions of the virus with the cell surface, including receptor binding and cell penetration. Cleavage of the VP4 protein prior to cell attachment by trypsin-like enzymes into two peptide fragments VP5* and VP8* that remain associated with the virus particle enhances its infectivity. In order to further investigate properties of this two proteins, open reading frame (ORF) sequences of VP5* and VP8* proteins derived from the VP4 of rotavirus strain TB-Chen were cloned and expressed and their immunological characteristics were analyzed. The results showed that VP5* and VP8* proteins could be highly expressed in E. coli cells; the expressed recombinant VP5* (rVP5*) and VP8* (rVP8*) could elicit specific antibodies in guinea pigs, these antibodies could recognize the recombinant VP4 derived from TB-Chen strain and the VP4 protein synthesized in Wa infected or SA11 infected MA104 cells. The results indicated that rVP5* and rVP8* have good immunogenicity and anti-rVP5* and anti-rVP8* antibodies have high specificity and cross reactivity.
