Methods The virus titers of RV5 vaccine stored at 22 ~ 25 ℃ and 37 ℃ for various time durations were determined by real-time PCR,based on which the titers of vaccine strains of five types(G1,G2,G3,G4 and P1) and the total titer were calculated using the titer of reference vaccine as standard. The VP7 sequence of RV5 vaccine strain of type G3 was amplified and compared with that of prototypic strain r G3 in GenBank. Results The decrease rates of titers of vaccine strains of types G1,G2,G3,G4 and P1 and the total titer were 3. 51%,2. 26%,3. 19%,5. 22%,3. 18% and 3. 61% per day respectively at 25 ℃,which showed no significant difference between various types(P > 0. 05). However,at 37 ℃,the decrease rate of vaccine strain of type G3(31. 20% per hour) was significantly higher than those of other types(G1:0. 75%;G2:0. 31%;G4:1. 08%;P1:2. 07%)(P < 0. 05). The half life of titer of vaccine strain of type G3 at 37 ℃was only 0. 07 d,while that of its prototypic strain rG3 was 2. 10 d. The RV5 vaccine strain of type G3 was different from its prototypic strain in scattered amino acids(F32 L,T69 A,L83 F,I118 T,D151 G and P275 L)as well as nucleotides in5′ untransplated region(UTR)(T25 C) and 3′ UTR(G1041 A,A1045 G,G1046 A,G1047 A,C1048 T and A1053 T).Conclusion The RV5 vaccine strains of various types showed high thermal stability at 25 ℃. However,at 37 ℃,the low thermal stability of vaccine strain of type G3 showed significant impact on the thermal stability of RV5 vaccine by a possible mechanism of nucleotide mutation in VP7 UTR.
