Three mAbs, 1B8, 5El and 5E2, were then further optimized. The result indicated that prepared anti-FMDV Asial mAbs had no cross-reactivity with Swine vesicular disease （SVD） and FMDV O, A and C type antigen. Their titers in abdomen liquor were 1：5×10^6, 1：2×10^6 and 1：5×10^6, respectively. 1B8 was found to be of IgG1 subtype, 5El and 5E2 belonged to IgG2b subtype. In this study, the prepared mAbs are specific for detecting FMDV type Asia1, and is potentially useful for pen-side diagnosis.展开更多

The ability of the VP1 protein to induce an immune response was then evaluated in guinea pigs. Western blot and ELISA results indicated that the VP1 protein can be recognized by SVDV positive serum, Furthermore, anti-SVDV specific antibodies and lymphocyte proliferation were elicited and increased by VP1 protein after vaccination. These results encourage further work towards the development of a vaccine against SVDV infection.展开更多

In this study, the EV71 poly-protein （EV71-P1 protein） gene was processed and cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pPIC9k and then expressed in Pichia pastoris strain GSll5. The EV71 P1 protein with a molecular weight of 100 kD was produced and secreted into the medium. The soluble EV71 P1 protein was purified by column chromatography with a recovery efficiency of 70%. The result of the immunological analysis showed that the EV71 P1 protein had excellent immunogenicity and could stimulate the production of EV71-VP1 IgG antibody in injected rabbits. We suggest that EV71-P1 protein is an ideal candidate for an EV71 vaccine to prevent EV71 infection.展开更多
