VP6 protein antigens allow classification of rotaviruses into at least four subgroups, depending on the presence or absence of SG-specific epitopes: SG I, SG II, SG (I. +. II), and SG non-(I. +. II). However, MAbs against epitopes on the VP6 protein of human and porcine rotaviruses, sometimes, do no...
