abstract

cucumber mosaic virus (cmv) is one of widely-spread viruses of plants with the broadest host range encompassing over 1200 species. one major limiting factor for detection of the virus is unavailability of the virus-specific antibodies especially in developing countries. recombinant dna technology facilitates antibody preparation without requiring special equipment. in this study, coat protein (cp) gene cdna of cmv was subcloned from ptz57cmvcp into pet21a expression vector and transformed into escherichia coli strain rosetta. expression of cmv cp was examined by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page) and its identity was confirmed by western blotting, dot blot immunobinding assay (diba) and enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) using anti- cmv antibody. the expressed protein was purified using t7•tag affinity purification kit and used as antigen for raising polyclonal antibodies in two mice. the purified anti-cmv cp igg and the conjugated igg performed favourably in terms of specificity and sensitivity to detect both expressed cp (antigen) and cmv isolates in infected cucurbit plants using plate trapped antigen (pta)- elisa, double-antibody sandwich (das)-elisa and western blotting. the prepared antibodies can be applied in serological and sero-molecular tests in studies on the virus and in screening of plants for the infection. this is the first report of preparation of antibodies against cp of an indigenous isolate of cmv.

Heterologous Expression of Potato Virus Y Coat Protein, Isolate Pot187

Background: The advent of recombinant DNA technology has facilitated heterologous expression of proteins from various sources in different host systems including Escherichia coli. If a plant virus coat protein is expressed in the bacterium it can be used as the antigen for antibody preparation. Such a recombinant antigen preparation can be particularly useful where equipment such as ultracentri...

Preparation and application of polyclonal antibody against a recombinant laccase.

A laccase gene from Trametes sp. 420 was recombinantly expressed in Pichia pastoris, producing the enzyme rLacD. Six mutant enzymes were produced by site-directed mutation at six potential glycosylation sites in the enzyme rLacD respectively. To probe the mutants with lower activities sensitively and specifically, the antiserum containing specific polyclonal antibodies were prepared by immunizi...
