| 摘要: | The recent dramatic increase in reported cases of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) in pig farms is a potential threat to the global swine industry, and thus, detecting PRRS virus (PRRSV) in pig herds is essential to help control the spread of PRRS. IDEXX HerdChek PRRS, a commercially available indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA), is the industry standard for detection of antibodies against PRRSV. In the present study, an effective iELISA for detection of PRRSV antibodies was developed using a recombinant fusion protein N-Gp5c (rN5c, a combination of the nucleocapsid protein and the C-terminal 78 aa of Gp5) produced in Escherichia coli. This assay was validated by comparison with an immunofluorescent assay and IDEXX-ELISA. The diagnostic specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of the rN5c-iELISA method were 94.8, 95.6, and 95.1%, respectively. Cross-reactivity assays demonstrated that iELISA was PRRSV-specific. Repeatability tests revealed that the coefficients of variation of positive sera within and between runs were less than 13 and 22%, respectively. The rN5c-iELISA is simpler to produce and perform, time-saving, and suitable for large scale surveys of PRRSV infection at lower cost. |
