The nucleocapsid (N) protein is a suitable candidate for early diagnosis of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). Here, we identified the linear B-cell epitopes of the PEDV N-protein by integrating a computational-experimental framework and constructed three-dimensional (3D) structure model of the N protein using the ColabFold program in Google Colaboratory. Furthermore, we prepared the monoclonal antibodies against the predicted epitopes and recombinant N protein, respectively, and selected pairing mAbs (named 9C4 and 3C5) to develop a double-antibody sandwich immunochromatographic test strip using CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs)-labelled 9C4 and 3C5 as capture and detection antibodies, respectively. This strip can specifically detect PEDV within 10 min with a detection limit of less than 6.25 × 10 TCID/mL. In comparison with RT-PCR for testing 90 clinical samples, the relative sensitivity and specificity of the strip were found to be 98.0% and 100%, respectively, with a concordance rate of 98.9% and a kappa value of 0.978, indicating that QDs-ICTS is a reliable method for the application of PEDV detection in clinical samples.

Viral infections trigger inflammasome-mediated caspase-1 activation. Nevertheless, limited understanding exists regarding how viruses use the active caspase-1 to evade host immune response. Here, we use porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) as a model of coronaviruses (CoVs) to illustrate the intricate regulation of CoVs to combat IFN-I signaling and pyroptosis.

Article Synopsis
- The nucleocapsid (N) protein of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) enhances the translation of both viral genomic RNA (gRNA) and messenger RNA, though its precise role is still being studied.
- The N-terminal domain (NTD) and Linker region of the N protein are crucial for increasing gRNA translation, along with specific elements in the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTR).
- Akt1, a signaling kinase, boosts viral gRNA translation linked to the N protein, but its effect occurs independently of a direct interaction between Akt1 and the N protein.

Background: Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection and transmission pose a serious threat to the global swine industry. The search for a new host factor with anti-PEDV effect may be an effective potential target for the development of novel antiviral drugs. Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) play a crucial role in the innate immune response triggered by viral infection, and it has been suggested that IFITMs can block the early stages of viral replication, but the mechanism of action is currently unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a highly contagious disease affecting pigs, leading to severe economic losses in the pig farming industry, especially among piglets due to high mortality rates.
- A new double-antibody sandwich quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-qELISA) was developed using specific antibodies against the PEDV nucleocapsid protein, capable of detecting low levels of the virus.
- The DAS-qELISA demonstrated excellent reliability and reproducibility, showing high correlation with established methods for detecting PEDV, making it a valuable tool for diagnosing and controlling this disease.

Introduction: The critical early stages of infection and innate immune responses to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) at the intestinal epithelium remain underexplored due to the limitations of traditional cell culture and animal models. This study aims to establish a porcine enteroid culture model to investigate potential differences in susceptibility to infection across segments of the porcine small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum).
Methods: Intestinal crypt cells from nursery pigs were cultured in Matrigel to differentiate into porcine enteroid monolayer cultures (PEMCs).
