Development of a blocking ELISA for detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection based on a monoclonal antibody against protein P65
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae causes porcine enzootic pneumonia, an economically important disease of swine. A more sensitive and reliable method for detection of serum antibodies is needed for epidemiological investigations and to evaluate the effect of immunization. We expressed the M. hyopneumoniae protein P65 in Escherichia coli and produced a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that bound specifically to recombinant P65. Using this mAb, a blocking enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed. The blocking ELISA had similar specificity to and sensitivity with the commercial ELISA produced by IDEXX. Thus, this blocking ELISA is a useful test for serological confirmation of M. hyopneumoniae infection.

Production of monoclonal antibody against recombinant NS3 protein of bovine viral diarrhea virus (NADL strain)
Bovine Viral Diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important viral pathogen of cattle causing several clinical syndromes. There are usually no pathognomonic clinical signs of BVDV infection. Diagnostic investigations therefore rely on serological detection and virus isolation. Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) as immunogenic protein of BVDV is genetically and antigenically conserved among different isolates....

Background: Human CD34 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed in human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the small- vessel endothelial cells of a variety of tissues. CD34 plays a critical role as a marker for diagnosis and classification of leukemia. Anti CD34 antibodies are used for isolation and purification of HSCs from bone marrow, peripheral blood and cord blood. Objective: ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the efficacy of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae bacterin following immunization of young pigs in the presence of varying levels of maternal antibodies
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae causes enzootic pneumonia that primarily affects growing pigs. Although the disease is nonfatal, it causes substantial losses attributable to reduced growth performance, increased susceptibility to secondary bacterial pneumonia, and potentiation of PRRSV-induced pneumonia (1, 2). Both cell-mediated and humoral immune responses appear to be important in providing protect...
متن کاملApplication of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the surveillance of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection in pigs.
A monoclonal antibody-based blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used for serological surveillance of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection in pig herds. A follow-up study was conducted on "herd predictive values" previously reported for this ELISA. Of those herds giving positive results by this ELISA, 42% were subsequently found to be infected, while 100% of herds giving negativ...
متن کاملR1 region of P97 mediates adherence of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae to swine cilia.
Adherence of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae to the swine respiratory tract is mediated by the membrane protein P97. This protein is located on the outer membrane surface, and its role in adherence has been firmly established. The general region of P97 that mediates adherence to swine cilia is thought to be the R1 region near the carboxy terminus of the protein, but it was not clear if this region cou...
