Generation of recombinant VP3 protein of infectious bursal disease virus in three different expression systems, antigenic analysis of the obtained polypeptides and development of an ELISA test.

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), which infects young chickens, is one of the most important pathogens that harm the poultry industry. Evaluation of the immune status of birds before and after vaccination is of great importance for controlling the disease caused by this virus. Therefore, the development of low-cost and easy-to-manufacture test systems for IBDV antibody detection remains an urgent issue.
