A swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) that causes severe diarrhea in suckling piglets was identified in Southern China in 2017. To develop an antigen that is specific, sensitive, and easy to prepare for serological diagnosis, antigenic sites in the SADS-CoV nucleocapsid (N) protein were screened. We generated and characterized an N-reactive monoclonal antibody (mAb) 3E9 from mice immunized with recombinant N protein. Through fine epitope mapping of mAb 3E9 using a panel of eukaryotic-expressed polypeptides with GFP-tags, we identified the motif DAPVFTPAP as the minimal unit of the linear B-cell epitope recognized by mAb 3E9. Protein sequence alignment indicated that DAPVFTPAP was highly conserved in different SADS-CoV strains and SADS-related coronaviruses from bat, with one substitution in this motif in HKU2-related bat coronavirus. Using mAb 3E9, we observed that N protein was expressed in the cytoplasm and was in the nucleolus during SADS-CoV replication. N protein was immunoprecipitated from SADS-CoV-infected Vero E6 cells. Taken together, our results indicated that 3E9 mAb could be a useful tool to investigate the structure and function of N protein during viral replication.

Objective To prepare the high-affinity and high-specificity mouse anti-human IgE monoclonal antibody (mAb) as a candidate immunosorbent. Methods BALB/c mice were immunized using recombinant antigen IgECepsilon2-4. Coated ELISA plate with IgECepsilon2-4 was used to screen positive cell lines by indirect ELISA, then coated ELISA plate with natural IgE, IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD to detect the affinity and specificity of serum-free culture supernatant of positive hybridoma cells with natural IgE.

Although exhibiting no or low virulence in poultry, avian influenza virus H7N9 has caused around 1400 confirmed human infections in China with a case-fatality rate of 30% since 2013. A highly pathogenic H7N9 virus (HP-H7), with the HA antigenicity distinct from the previous, were recently detected in patients and poultry. Therefore, convenient rapid diagnosis with reliability will allow early antiviral use and management for H7N9 infection.

Envelope (E) protein of DTMUV is an important structural protein, which is able to induce protective immune response in target animals and can be used as specific serological diagnosis tool. In this study, a novel monoclonal antibody, designated mAb 3E9, was generated against DTMUV E protein.
