Article Synopsis
- The Nipah virus nucleocapsid protein (NiV-N) was successfully expressed in E. coli and purified for use as a diagnostic antigen.
- Two types of ELISA tests, one for IgG and one for IgM, were developed using this NiV-N protein to detect infections in humans and swine.
- The new ELISA tests displayed high sensitivity and specificity, effectively identifying more cases than traditional methods, making them reliable and cost-effective for widespread use, particularly in developing countries.
