The Functional Characterization of Bat and Human P[3] Rotavirus VP8*s [PDF]
P[3] rotavirus (RV) has been identified in many species, including human, simian, dog, and bat. Several glycans, including sialic acid, histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) are reported as RV attachment factors. The glycan binding specificity of different P[3] RV VP8*s were investigated in this study.

Expression of bovine rotavirus VP8 and preparation of IgY antibodies against recombinant VP8
Group A rotavirus is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in cattle and swine. Although, vaccination against this virus is an effective strategy for prevention, additional strategy to control disease is necessary. Egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY)-based passive immunization could be a better option in preventing this disease.

Incidence and clinical characteristics of group A rotavirus infections among children admitted to hospital in Kilifi, Kenya [PDF]
Background Rotavirus, predominantly of group A, is a major cause of severe diarrhoea worldwide, with the greatest burden falling on young children living in less-developed countries.

The VP8 fragment of VP4 is the rhesus rotavirus hemagglutinin
The amino-terminal trypsin cleavage fragment of VP4, called VP8, was expressed from a recombinant baculovirus in Sf-9 cells. The baculovirus-expressed VP8 protein is antigenically conserved as demonstrated by its recognition by a library of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. In Sf-9 cell sonicates, the expressed VP8 protein is capable of agglutinating

Interaction of VP8 with mRNAs of bovine herpesvirus-1
The UL47 gene product, VP8, is one of the most abundant tegument proteins of bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1). Deletion of VP8 leads to impaired growth in tissue culture, and VP8 is indispensable for BHV-1 replication in cattle. To elucidate the biological functions of VP8, we explored its interaction with mRNAs of immediate early (bICP0), early (gB, gD ...

The Vaccinia virion: Filling the gap between atomic and ultrastructure.
We have investigated the molecular-level structure of the Vaccinia virion in situ by protein-protein chemical crosslinking, identifying 4609 unique-mass crosslink ions at an effective FDR of 0.33%, covering 2534 unique pairs of crosslinked protein ...

Distribution of conserved and specific epitopes on the VP8 subunit of rotavirus VP4 [PDF]
Three cDNA clones comprising the VP8 subunit of the VP4 of human rotavirus strain KU (VP7 serotype G1; VP4 serotype P1A) G1 were constructed. The corresponding encoded peptides were designated according to their locations in the VP8 subunit as A (amino acids 1 to 102), B (amino acids 84 to 180), and C (amino acids 150 to 246 plus amino acids 247 to 251
