Abstract
Gyrovirus homsa 1 (GyH1) is an established causative agent of transmissible viral proventriculitis (TVP) in chickens. This study developed a colloidal gold immunochromatography assay (GICA) for GyH1 detection. Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against recombinant VP1 protein were generated. Colloidal gold nanoparticles were synthesized using the trisodium citrate reduction method, yielding uniform particle. Monoclonal antibodies were conjugated to colloidal gold particles, while polyclonal antibodies served as capture reagents immobilized on the membrane. Optimal labeling conditions were determined as pH 8.8 with a monoclonal concentration of 7.2 μg/mL. The assay demonstrated specific recognition of GyH1with a detection limit of 103 copies/μL. Batch-to-batch reproducibility was confirmed across all test strip. In summary, the GyH1 GICA exhibits high specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility, providing an effective and low-cost tool for monitoring GyH1 early-stage infection status and technical support for field detection applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Virological Methods focuses on original, high quality research papers that describe novel and comprehensively tested methods which enhance human, animal, plant, bacterial or environmental virology and prions research and discovery.
The methods may include, but not limited to, the study of:
Viral components and morphology-
Virus isolation, propagation and development of viral vectors-
Viral pathogenesis, oncogenesis, vaccines and antivirals-
Virus replication, host-pathogen interactions and responses-
Virus transmission, prevention, control and treatment-
Viral metagenomics and virome-
Virus ecology, adaption and evolution-
Applied virology such as nanotechnology-
Viral diagnosis with novelty and comprehensive evaluation.
We seek articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and laboratory protocols that include comprehensive technical details with statistical confirmations that provide validations against current best practice, international standards or quality assurance programs and which advance knowledge in virology leading to improved medical, veterinary or agricultural practices and management.
