Incubation : Temperature: 37.0°C Duration: 1-4 days; 5% CO2 in air atmosphere is recommended; For best results cells should be 24 to 48 hours old and 90-100% confluent. Protocol: This rotavirus should be grown in the presence of trypsin or pancreatin and NO serum should be used. Preliminary trials in gnotobiotic pigs indicate that this preparation is attenuated, but no back passages have been done. Cross-reacts with group A rotaviruses from other species. Heat labile (56擄C, 30min.). Stable at pH 3.0 and to ether.
Effect : Yes, in vitro effects: Cytopathic effects, some initial rounding followed by degeneration of cells and eventual sloughing
Store at : -70°C (or colder)
Comments : Serotype 5 (G5) by antigenic typing at VP7 and serotype P7 by antigenic typing at VP4. Preliminary trials in gnotobiotic pigs indicate that this preparation is attenuated.
