Poly-acrylamide-gel-electrophoretic Analysis of Human Rotavirus Nucleic Acid in Henan Province

During Dec.1983-April 1984, 156 stool specimens from children suffeting acute diarrhea, 13 from healthy adults and 5 from normal children were studied with polyacrylamide gel ele trophotesis. Rotavirus RNA pattern was observed is 70 specimeas from diarrhea children. According to the mobility of aeaome fragmeats, they were divided into two electrophoretic types(long and ahort,i.e.L type and s type),and ten sub-types(L_l-5,S_1a, S_1b,S_2a, S_2b, SS₃).
