Monoclonal antibodies to a monkeypox virus polypeptide determinant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three monkeypox virus (MPV) antibody-secreting murine monoclones were characterized as being of the immunoglobulin G1 isotype, gave a 4+ reaction in the indirect fluorescent-antibody test, gave a positive reaction in the enzyme immunoassay, and did not neutralize MPV. These monoclonal antibodies were determined by the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis transblot method to react to a 15,500-molecular-weight MPV polypeptide. This reactivity could not be removed by adsorption to a vaccinia virus-infected cell suspension. The three monoclonal antibodies were specific for MPV when tested against epidemiologically unrelated isolates of cowpox virus, variola virus, vaccinia virus, and MPV.

Construction and Expression of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Escape Variants within the "a" Determinant by Site Directed Mutagenesis
Background: The antibody response to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) controls hepatitis B virus infection. The "a" determinant of HBsAg is the most important target for protective antibody response, diagnosis and immunoprophylaxis. Mutations in this area may induce immune escape mutants and affect the performance of HBsAg assays. Objectives: To construct clinically relevant recombinant muta...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies specific for Hantaan virus.
Six hybridoma cell line producing monoclonal antibodies to Hantaan virus were established by fusion of NS-1 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells of mice immunized with Hantaan virus strain 76-118. The specificity of these monoclonal antibodies was established by immunoblotting analysis and immunofluorescence. Five of the clones reacted with antigens on the cell surface and in the cytoplasm, an...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Genus-Specific Antigen Capture ELISA for Orthopoxviruses – Target Selection and Optimized Screening
Orthopoxvirus species like cowpox, vaccinia and monkeypox virus cause zoonotic infections in humans worldwide. Infections often occur in rural areas lacking proper diagnostic infrastructure as exemplified by monkeypox, which is endemic in Western and Central Africa. While PCR detection requires demanding equipment and is restricted to genome detection, the evidence of virus particles can comple...

Introduction: Monkeypox is a double-stranded virus of the genus Orthopoxvirus, which is transmitted by animals to humans. Monkey pox is a double-stranded virus of the orthopoxvirus genus that is transmitted to humans by animals. So far, two main species of monkeypox have been identified in West Africa and the Congo Basin. The way the monkeypox virus spreads is often through respiratory particle...
متن کاملStructural and Functional Characterization of Anti-A33 Antibodies Reveal a Potent Cross-Species Orthopoxviruses Neutralizer
Vaccinia virus A33 is an extracellular enveloped virus (EEV)-specific type II membrane glycoprotein that is essential for efficient EEV formation and long-range viral spread within the host. A33 is a target for neutralizing antibody responses against EEV. In this study, we produced seven murine anti-A33 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) by immunizing mice with live VACV, followed by boosting with th...
