A lineage 1 branch porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus live vaccine candidate provides broad cross-protection against HP-like PRRSV in piglets.

Multiple porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) subtypes coinfect numerous pig farms in China, and commercial PRRSV vaccines offer limited cross-protection against heterologous strains. Our previous research confirmed that a PRRSV lineage 1 branch attenuated live vaccine (SD-R) provides cross-protection against HP-PRRSV, NADC30-like PRRSV and NADC34-like PRRSV. HP-PRRSV has undergone significant genetic variation following nearly two decades of evolution and has transformed into a subtype referred to as HP-like PRRSV, which also exhibits high pathogenicity.

MARCH8 inhibits pseudorabies virus replication by trapping the viral cell-to-cell fusion complex in the trans-Golgi network.

The membrane-associated RING-CH 8 protein (MARCH8), a member of the E3 ubiquitin ligase family, has broad-spectrum antiviral activity. However, some viruses hijack MARCH8 to promote virus replication, highlighting its dual role in the viral lifecycle. Most studies on MARCH8 have focused on RNA viruses, leaving its role in DNA viruses largely unexplored.

Development and application of a blocking ELISA based on a N protein monoclonal antibody for the antibody detection against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 2.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is one of the most widespread illnesses in the world's swine business. To detect the antibodies against PRRSV-2, a blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (B-ELISA) was developed, utilizing a PRRSV-2 N protein monoclonal antibody as the detection antibody. A checkerboard titration test was used to determine the optimal detection antibody dilution, tested pig serum dilution and purified PRRSV coated antigen concentration.

Improved detection sensitivity of anti-PRV variant antibodies through preparation of anti-gB and anti-gE monoclonal antibodies and development of blocking ELISAs.

Since 2011, PRV has resurged in China and is characterized by a mutated strain with significant alterations in antigenicity and virulence. Therefore, we hypothesized that antibody detection kits based on classic PRV strains may have limitations in detecting PRV variants. For more sensitive antibody detection of PRV variants, two MABs targeting the gB and gE proteins were developed.

Preparation and Identification of a Monoclonal Antibody against the Pseudorabies Virus gE Glycoprotein through a Novel Strategy.

Since 2011, pseudorabies virus (PRV) has recurred in several vaccinated pig farms in China. PRV variants with high virulence were found to be the main cause of the outbreaks. In the face of the PRV epidemic, detection of the wild strain is as important as vaccine immunization, so we hoped to achieve differential diagnosis of PRV by obtaining a monoclonal antibody (mAB) that could be used to identify the wild strain.

Identification of interaction domains in the pseudorabies virus ribonucleotide reductase large and small subunits.

Alphaherpesviral ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is composed of large (pUL39, RR1) and small (pUL40, RR2) subunits. This enzyme can catalyze conversion of ribonucleotide to deoxynucleotide diphosphates that are further phosphorylated into deoxynucleotide triphosphate (dNTPs). The dNTPs are substrates for de novo viral DNA synthesis in infected host cells.
