Explain the difference between the Rotarix and the RotaTeq vaccines used to protect against rotavirus infections
What will be an ideal response?
The Rotarix vaccine is a live–attenuated single human rotavirus strain that expresses the G1 variant of V7 (VP7G1) and the P8 variant of VP4 (VP4P8). Both variable proteins are common in disease-causing strains. The RotaTeq vaccine is a mixture of five different non-pathogenic cattle rotaviruses engineered to express VP4P8 and VP7G1, VP7G2, VP7G3, and VP7G4 variants from common human pathogenic strains, in addition to cattle-specific variable proteins.
