The elementary objective of this study was to optimize and validate the working parameters of an indirect ELISA based on prokaryotically expressed recombinant 3AB3 nonstructural protein (NSP) to estimate the 3AB3 NSP antibodies emanating from FMD virus (FMDV) infection and evaluate its performance highlighting the potential utility as a serological implement for surveillance of the disease in pig. Diversified categories of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) have been developed with wider use for evaluation of herd immunity in animals. However, recombinant antigen-based ELISAs are contemplated to be the preferred alternatives to tedious virus neutralization test, while antibody to 3AB3 NSP has been explored to be the most dependable and trust-worthy indicator for FMD. The 3AB3 NSP indirect ELISA, already in use in the country as a test for screening FMDV infection-specific antibodies in the bovine species was modified using anti-porcine IgG-horse radish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate and the test was successfully applied for pig. The assay performance was compared with an internationally accepted PrioCHECK® FMDV NS blocking ELISA kit.

Diagnostic tools for DENV infection include detection of the virus, viral RNA, or viral antigens, which are usually cumbersome or require sophisticated medical facilities and trained personnel. Serological tests are the most widely used methods to detect dengue infection due to low cost and operational simplicity. The detection of antibodies (IgM and IgG) in the blood of an infected individual is an indirect method of diagnosing DENV and IgG can be used as long-term detection. The aim of this work was to develop and validate an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of anti-DENV IgG antibodies, and to determine its usefulness in the diagnosis and seroepidemiological survey of DENV.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Materials and methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The production of the antigen was carried out using the tetravalent DENV E protein-based provided by Trebe Biotech. The recombinant baculovirus was obtained using the Bac to Bac® baculovirus expression system. The recombinant tetravalent dengue antigen was expressed in insect larvae, purified by IMAC and identified by SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis. The system used in this work has the advantage of using insect pests as biofactories. Recombinant protein production is high-yield and production times are short. Furthermore, it has no product size limit and is highly flexible to sequence changes or the emergence of new serotypes. An indirect ELISA was developed using purified tetravalent DENV antigen immobilized on polystyrene microplates; human sera samples from individuals with no history of DENV infection (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 22) and human sera samples from individuals with clinical history and diagnosed of DENV infection (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 23) were then incubated. Immune complexes were revealed with anti-human IgG-Horseradish Peroxidase. Results were calculated as specific absorbance and expressed as standard deviation scores: SDs. In order to establish DENV-IgG seroprevalence, the developed ELISA was applied to analyze samples from blood donor centers from different geographic regions of the country (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 504) and normal human sera (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 17).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The efficiently produced recombinant dengue antigen was used for the development and validation of a high sensitivity (91.30 %) and specificity (90.91 %) indirect ELISA for the detection of anti-DENV IgG antibodies.

Mpox virus and chickenpox virus are the main causative pathogens of mpox and chickenpox respectively. This study aims to develop a rapid diagnostic immunochromatographic trip for differential diagnosis of mpox and chickenpox viruses.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>An immunochromatographic assay (ICA) based on the double-antibody sandwich format was developed. First, the paired monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were prepared: for mpox, the detecting MAb1 and capture MAb2; for chickenpox, the detecting MAb3 and capture MAb4. These MAbs were against the recombinant antigens (AR/gE) of mpox and chickenpox viruses. Then, the detecting MAbs were conjugated to gold nanoparticles and coated onto the conjugate pads. The capture MAbs were immobilized onto a nitrocellulose membrane at two detection zones to form the Test 1 (T1, to test AR) line and Test 2 (T2, to test gE) line, respectively. Goat anti-mouse IgG antibodies were immobilized onto the nitrocellulose membrane to form the control (C, to verify the effectiveness of the strip) line as the control. Finally, it was assembled into a one-step double T-line colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip for the differential diagnosis of mpox and chickenpox viruses. The sensitivity, specificity, precision and methodology comparison were evaluated using mpox pseudovirus and clinical samples.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>A dual-index ICA strips for the simultaneous detection of mpox and chickenpox were successfully prepared. The sensitivity of the dual-index ICA strips to AR antigen was 0.125 ng/mL, to gE antigen was 0.25 ng/mL, with high specificity, precision and reproducibility. The results can be judged within 10–15 min. Methodology comparison study (PCR vs. ICA strips) of 56 clinical samples found there was no statistically significant difference between the ICA strips and PCR method.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The dual-index ICA strips had good sensitivity, specificity, simple procedure and rapid detection. This protocol is very suitable for early diagnosis and differentiation of mpox and chickenpox in medical institutions and individuals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16000,"journal":{"name":"Journal of immunological methods","volume":"541 ","pages":"Article 113881"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144134524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
