Studies with human neonatal rotaviruses RV-3 and S12/85 and their reassortants showed that VP4 is a determinant of rotavirus attachment to and growth in Caco-2 cells. The binding of these viruses to MA104 and Caco-2 cells correlated with their growth ability. Virus sensitivity to trypsin and the VP4 fusion region may be implicated in these processes.
