Mapping of epitopes of VP2 protein of chicken anemia virus using monoclonal antibodies

To map the epitopes of VP2 protein of chicken anemia virus (CAV), VP2 was expressed as a fusion protein in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The Western blot demonstrated that recombinant VP2 protein could be recognized by sera of chickens infected with CAV. Female BALB/c mice were immunized with purified recombinant VP2 produced in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and seven VP2-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were developed. The results of Western blot showed that all the seven MAbs recognized the recombinant VP2 protein expressed in the baculovirus and reacted with MDCC-MSB1 cells infected with CAV by indirect immunofluorescence assay. The VP2 protein was dissected into 21 overlapping fragments, expressed as fusion peptides in E. coli and used for epitope mapping by pepscan analysis. ELISA and Western blot assays indicated that most of MAbs reacted with the 12th and 13th fragments (amino acids 111-136) and one of them reacted with the 3rd fragment (amino acids 21-36). The linear immunodominant epitope of VP2 was located mainly in amino acid residues 111-126 and 121-136.

Display of the VP1 epitope of foot-and-mouth disease virus on bacteriophage T7 and its application in diagnosis

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious epidemic disease threatening the cattle industry since the sixteenth century. In recent years, the development of diagnostic assays for FMD has benefited considerably from the advances of recombinant DNA technology. In this study, the immunodominant region of the capsid protein VP1 of the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) was fused to the T7 bacteriophage and expressed on the surface of the bacteriophage capsid protein. The recombinant protein of about 42 kDa was detected by the anti-T7 tag monoclonal antibody in Western blot analysis. Phage ELISA showed that both the vaccinated and positive infected bovine sera reacted significantly with the recombinant T7 particle. This study demonstrated the potential of the T7 phage displaying the VP1 epitope as a diagnostic reagent.

Abstract：

Objective To express and purify recombinant Tp0136 epitope fragment, and study the immunity activity. Methods The Tp0136 selective fragment(Tp0136B) gene was devised by the surface property analysis, solvent-accessible suface calculateions, secondary structure function region analysis, and was inserted between the sites of Nde Ⅰ and Not Ⅰ in pET22b ( + ) . The recombinant plasmid was expressed in E. coli BI21. After nickel ion metal affinity chromatography, the antigenic and immune reactivity of rTp0136B was confirmed. Then indirect ELISA with the rTp0136B as coating antigen was performed to detect the anti-Tp0136 antibody in sera from 100 normal human controls and 131 primary syphilis patients. Results The rTp0136B was soluble expressed with a molecular weight of about 28 000 and was obtained with a purity of ＞98% by chromatography. Western blot proved that the rTp0136B could specifically react with anti-Tp0136 polyclonal antibody. Specific humoral response was elicited by the recombinant protein in Japan negative. The positive detection rate in sera from primary syphilis patients was 85.5%. Conclusion This result suggested that the recombinant Tp0136 epitope fragments have a satisfactory immunocompetence,which may have applications in the serodiagnosis of primary syphilis.     

Development of a capsid based competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of bovine immunodeficiency virus antibodies in cattle and buffalo serum

The aim of this study was to develop a more specific and sensitive competitive inhibition ELISA (CI-ELISA) than the currently used indirect ELISA for detection of antibodies to bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) in cattle and buffaloes. Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were generated against a recombinant capsid (CA) protein of bovine immunodeficiency virus. Of the 13 anti-CA MAbs developed, MAb-9G10 was selected for CI-ELISA based on the maximum inhibition (98%) obtained with reference BIV antibody positive serum. Based on the distribution of percent inhibition of known negative sera (n=50), a cut-off value was set at 40% inhibition. The MAb-based CI-ELISA showed much higher agreement (concordance: 95.4%) than the indirect ELISA (concordance: 77.8%) with Western blot. Out of 672 sera of cattle and buffaloes tested by CI-ELISA from four states of India, 22% (113/516) of cattle and 19% (30/156) of buffalo were sero-positive for BIV with an overall seroprevalence of 21% (143/672) in India.

Development of a Western blot assay for detection of bovine immunodeficiency-like virus using capsid and transmembrane envelope proteins expressed from recombinant baculovirus

A 120-amino-acid polypeptide selected from the transmembrane protein region (tTM) and the major capsid protein p26 of bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV) were expressed as fusion proteins from recombinant baculoviruses. The antigenic reactivity of both recombinant fusion proteins was confirmed by Western blot with bovine and rabbit antisera to BIV. BIV-negative bovine sera and animal sera positive for bovine syncytial virus and bovine leukemia virus failed to recognize the recombinant fusion proteins, thereby showing the specificity of the BIV Western blot. One hundred and five bovine serum samples were tested for the presence of anti-BIV antibodies by the recombinant protein-based Western blot and a reference Western blot assay using cell culture-derived virions as test antigens. There was a 100% concordance when the p26 fusion protein was used in the Western blot. However, the Western blot using the tTM fusion protein as its test antigen identified four BIV-positive bovine sera which had tested negative in both the p26 recombinant-protein-based and the reference Western blot assays. This resulted in the lower concordance of 96.2% between the tTM-protein-based and reference Western blot assays. The results of this study showed that the recombinant p26 and tTM proteins can be used as test antigens for the serodetection of BIV-infection in animals.
