Materials and MethodsThe IDIR strain of group B rotavirus was prepared and passaged in infant rats as previously described [9]. The MMU strain of group A rotavirus (serotype 3) was origi-nally isolated from rhesus monkeys and was obtained from Dr. Richard Wyatt (National Institutes of Health, Be-thesda, Md). The virus was propagated in MA-104 cells (MA Bioproducts, Walkersville, Md) by using previously described methods [2]. Neutralizing monclonal antibodies and guinea pig sera hyperimmune to the MMU strain of virus were prepared by means of previously described methods [2, 3]. Three-to five-day-old rats (Charles River Laboratories, Portage, Mich) were orally inoculated with a mixture of 106 pfu of MMU and a standard inoculum of the group B rotavirus IDIR (first passage); they were observed for the development of diarrheal disease. Intes-tinal contents of two to four infected rats were collected on days 1, 2, and 4 after infection. These days were selected because of the time course of in vivo reassortment observed in animals infected with group A rotaviruses [12]. A portion of the intestinal contents was pooled and fed to an-other group of infant rats under identical conditions (second passage). This procedure also resulted in the generation of diarrheal disease. The intestinal contents of both groups of rats were tested to determine their generation of plaques on MA-104 cells in the presence of 1 ng of trypsin/mL. The intestinal contents were cultured in the presence or absence of three different neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to MMU added to an 0.5 Vo agarose overlay. A second overlay containing 0.5^ 0 agarose and neutral red was added three days after inoculation, and plaques were visualized as discrete areas that did not take up the neu-tral red stain.
