We investigated the antigenic and genetic characters of one of two human rotavirus strains 69M and 57M isolated in Indonesia, both of which showed a "super-short" RNA electrophoretic pattern (A. Hasegawa et al., Microbiol. Immunol. 28, 719-722, 1984). By an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with subgroup-specific monoclonal antibodies, one virus, strain 57M, was found to have subgroup II antigenicity. The cross-reaction of this strain, in a plaque neutralization test, with a serotype 4 strain was high whereas that of strain 69M was low. When radiolabeled RNA probes prepared from this virus were hybridized with RNAs from reference strains of different serotypes, treated with S-1 nuclease and then subjected to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, we found that (i) RNA segment 10 (the super-short segment) hybridized with that of another super-short pattern virus, strain 69M; (ii) segment 7, coding for a neutralization antigen, hybridized with that of the serotype 4 virus; (iii) segment 6, coding for a major inner-shell protein, hybridized with that of a serotype 1 virus; and (iv), some other segments hybridized with those of the reference viruses of serotypes other than 2 and 3. We suspect that this strain is possibly a naturally-occurring reassortant virus whose genetic segments are derived from different human rotaviruses.
