abstract

citrus tristeza virus (ctv) is among the most destructive pathogens of citrus and causes substantial economic losses in citrus-growing industry worldwide. considering recent distribution of this pathogen and its capability of transmission by existing aphid vectors in iran, detection of this virus is enforceable for controlling the damage caused by this pathogen in iran, as one of the major citrus producing countries. toward this aim, developing a reliable and sensitive detection method such as enzyme- linked immunosorbant assay (elisa) would be the first step to detect ctv in large scale screenings of field samples. as the serological method requires great amounts of specific antibody, the consequent preparation of a large scale antigen source for immunization process is necessary. in this study the coat protein gene of ctv (cp25) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction from a cloned cp25 gene in ptz57r/t and subcloned in pet26b expression vector and named pet-cp25. two escherichia coli strains of bl21 and rosetta gami (de3) were transformed by pet-cp25. expression of recombinant protein was induced by iptg. the authenticity of recombinant protein was confirmed by western immunoblot analysis using a polyclonal antiserum against ctv particles. the results indicated that ctv coat protein gene was expressed in e.coli. this recombinant protein could be used as a source of antigen for immunization process.

Cloning and expression of coat protein gene of the most prevailing citrus tristeza virus isolate in Northern Iran

Citrus tristeza is one of the most destructive diseases of citrus and its causing agent CTV was introduced from Japan to northern Iran in the late 1960s. After about three decades of restriction to originally infected Satsuma trees, natural spread of CTV has being undertaken and melon aphid (Aphis gossypii Glov.) was confirmed as a potent vector in these areas. Regarding the specificity of aphi...

Expression of Prunus Necrotic Ringspot Virus Coat Protein in E. coli

Background and Amis: Serological assay is considered as one of the best choices for conducting large number of infection tests. Recombinant DNA technology has been used for expression of virus coat protein (CP) gene in prokaryotic bacterial cells such as Escherichia coli and the recombinant CP (rCP) is used as immunogen in antibody production. Heterologous CP protein expression and purification...

serological methods to confirm expression of coat protein gene from an iranian isolate of cucumber mosaic virus in escherichia coli

conclusions this is the first report of expression of cmv cp gene in iran, which is important for the preparation of anti-cmv antibody and paving the way for the use of the virus coat protein as a nanomaterial. results the identity of the expressed protein was confirmed by immunoassays such as western blot, dot-immunobinding assay (diba) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) by the use ...
