The development of specific countermeasures is hindered by a limited characterization of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and epitopes against the major ORF2 antigen. To address this, we generated two mAbs (A12G1 and A10D12) against GAstV-2 ORF2 using hybridoma technology. Epitope mapping identified two novel linear B-cell epitopes, <sub>1</sub>MADRA<sub>5</sub> (A12G1) and <sub>36</sub>YKPQKLPMKA<sub>45</sub> (A10D12), residing in the conserved S domain. These epitopes were highly conserved among GAstV-2 isolates but demonstrated notable divergence from other avian astroviruses. The specific reactivity of both mAbs with GAstV-2 was confirmed by Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, leveraging mAb A10D12, we established a highly sensitive and specific indirect competitive ELISA (icELISA) for detecting GAstV-2 antibodies in goose serum. The icELISA demonstrated excellent reproducibility, high sensitivity, and no cross-reactivity with antisera against other common waterfowl pathogens. This study not only expands the known epitope repertoire of GAstV-2 ORF2 but also provides valuable mAbs and a robust serological tool for functional studies of ORF2 and for monitoring GAstV-2 infections.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of virological methods","volume":"340 ","pages":"Article 115306"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145573973","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}
