Production of monoclonal antibodies against recombinant nucleoprotein of avian influenza virus, serotype H9N2
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) including the subtype H9N2 cause considerable financial losses to poultry industries. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of avian influenza (AI) infection is important in control and eradication programs. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to produce monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for the nucleocapsid protein )NP (of AIV H9N2 subtype to improve diagnostic assays. METHODS: Recombinant NP protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified using amylose resin chromatography column and used as an antigen for mice immunization. Spleen cells of the immunized mice were fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells. Next, culture supernatants of primary hybridoma clones were screened by indirect ELISA. After three rounds of sub cloning, the reactivity of the MAbs with recombinant and natural antigens was assessed by Western blotting. RESULTS: Six MAbs showed specific binding to recombinant and natural NP from AIV H9N2 in Western blot analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescence assay. Cross-reactivity with genetically non-related including Newcastle viruse (Paramyxoviridae family) was not detected. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results, the MAbs generated in this study could be used for the development of rapid diagnostic assays for recognition of AIV.

Background and Aims: Influenza is an acute respiratory illness that is caused by a virus belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. This virus spreads rapidly every year in cold season and leads to morbidities and mortalities especially in adults and children, which causes billions of dollars of economic losses. Accordingly, development of a rapid, sensitive and inexpensive laboratory diagnosis base...

Background: Influenza viruses cause Avian Influenza (AI) is a serious infectious disease belonging to type A Orthomyxovirus. A viral RNA synthesis is due to an interaction of the nucleoprotein (NP) with the viral polymerase. In the present study, we have evaluated the immunogenicity of avian influenza virus nucleoprotein. Materials & Methods: An Influenza Virus N9H2 subtype A/Chicken I...

The humoral immunization potential of panax ginseng polysaccharide (GPS) against H9N2 avian influenza virus (H9N2 AIV) in chickens was investigated. The effects of GPS treatment before and during H9N2 AIV infection were determined in chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) by MTT (3(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 3-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assays and quantitative RT-PCR analysis of MHC and cytokine...
