Antigenic cross-reactivity between human GII NoV antigens (VLPs) and a pig convalescent-phase antiserum against porcine GII NoVs, as determined by ELISA*
| Antiserum | ELISA antibody titer with each VLP antigen (genogroup-genotype) |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hawaii (GII-1) | Toronto (GII-3) | MD145 (GII-4) | HS66 (GII-4) | Florida (GII-6) | Desert Shield (GI-3) | |
| HS66CS (positive control): human convalescent antiserum to human HS66 (GII-4) | 1:25,600 | 1:6,400 | 1:25,600 | 1:25,600 | 1:6,400 | 1:6,400 |
| LL616: pig convalescent-phase antiserum to porcine QW126 (QW101-like, GII-18)† | 1:100 | 1:800 | 1:400 | 1:400 | 1:400 | 1:10 |
| LL368 (negative control): preinoculation serum‡ | <1:10 | <1:10 | <1:10 | <1:10 | <1:10 | <1:10 |
| MM982 (negative control): preinoculation serum‡ | <1:10 | <1:10 | <1:10 | <1:10 | <1:10 | <1:10 |
*NoV, norovirus; VLP, viruslike particle; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
†The QW126 shared 99% and 100% amino acid identities to the QW101 strain (GII-18) for a 169-bp segment in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase region and a 363-bp segment in the capsid region, respectively.
‡LL368 and MM982 were sera from 2 gnotobiotic pigs before inoculation with porcine NoVs.
