Preparation of African swine fever virus (ASFV) p30 monoclonal antibodies and identification of novel antigenic epitopes
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly infectious disease caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV), with a mortality rate of up to 100 % for highly virulent strains. The ASFV p30 protein is encoded by the early transcriptional gene CP204L. As one of the structural proteins of ASFV, p30 is an ideal diagnostic antigen for ASF. Here, we first generated three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for p30 from immunized BALB/c mice via cell fusion, which were successfully applied in ELISA, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence assay. Second, two novel antigenic epitopes, 169TIYGTPLKE177 and 111ETNECTSSFET121 of p30 were identified using Western blotting with the three p30 mAbs. The two epitopes identified were highly conserved across genotypes I and/or II ASFVs. Third, an indirect ELISA based on epitope peptides of p30 was established to effectively detect antibodies during ASFV infection.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Immunology publishes original articles, reviews and commentaries on all areas of immunology, with a particular focus on description of cellular, biochemical or genetic mechanisms underlying immunological phenomena. Studies on all model organisms, from invertebrates to humans, are suitable. Examples include, but are not restricted to:
Infection, autoimmunity, transplantation, immunodeficiencies, inflammation and tumor immunology
Mechanisms of induction, regulation and termination of innate and adaptive immunity
Intercellular communication, cooperation and regulation
Intracellular mechanisms of immunity (endocytosis, protein trafficking, pathogen recognition, antigen presentation, etc)
Mechanisms of action of the cells and molecules of the immune system
Structural analysis
Development of the immune system
Comparative immunology and evolution of the immune system
"Omics" studies and bioinformatics
Vaccines, biotechnology and therapeutic manipulation of the immune system (therapeutic antibodies, cytokines, cellular therapies, etc)
Technical developments.
