Development of double-antibody sandwich ELISA for detecting PEDV N protein
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) severely impacts piglets with high contagion and lethality, leading to significant economic losses in the swine industry. In this study, two anti-PEDV N protein monoclonal antibodies (4F2 and 2G4) were successfully prepared using the HEK-293i cell-expressed recombinant N protein as an immunogen. Functional analysis revealed that both 4F2 and 2G4 were applicable to immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and Western blot. Epitope screening showed that these mAbs recognized distinct epitopes: 4F2 bound a conserved linear epitope in the N-terminal domain, while 2G4 targeted the linear epitope “SGKNTPKKNKSRATSKE” in the C-terminal domain, which is highly conserved across different virus strains. Using the obtained antibodies, we developed a double-antibody sandwich quantitative ELISA (DAS-ELISA) for PEDV detection. The assay demonstrated remarkable sensitivity, capable of detecting the recombinant N protein at a concentration as low as 0.05 ng/mL and the virus at a titer of 102.59 TCID50 (50 % tissue culture infectious dose). It also exhibited specificity, with no cross-reactivity to PRV, PRRSV, ASFV, or PCV2. This ELISA should enable convenient PEDV detection in piglet excreta and aid in PEDV eradication efforts.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Microbiological Methods publishes scholarly and original articles, notes and review articles. These articles must include novel and/or state-of-the-art methods, or significant improvements to existing methods. Novel and innovative applications of current methods that are validated and useful will also be published. JMM strives for scholarship, innovation and excellence. This demands scientific rigour, the best available methods and technologies, correctly replicated experiments/tests, the inclusion of proper controls, calibrations, and the correct statistical analysis. The presentation of the data must support the interpretation of the method/approach.
