Abstract:
To improve lower efficacy among infants in low income countries and the safety (e.g., rare but severe intussusception) of live oral rotavirus vaccines, we have developed CDC-9 strain with G1P[8] specificity as a candidate inactivated rotavirus vaccine (IRV). This IRV of 3 doses elicits high titers of IgG, neutralizing activity to homotypic and heterotypic human strains and IgG avidity in guinea pigs, thus is a promising alternative to enhance global immunization against rotavirus in children.
