To develop reliable and effective serological detection assays of CTV, the major capsid protein （CP） gene of CTV was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 （DE3） using the expression vector pET-28a and purified through Ni＊-NTA affinity chromatography. The recombinant protein was used to immunize BALB/c mice. Four hybridoma cell lines （14B10, 14Hll, 20D5, and 20G12） secreting monoclonal antibodies （MAbs） against CTV were obtained through conventional hybridoma technology. The titers of MAb-containing ascitic fluids secreted by the four hybridoma lines ranged from 10-6 to 10.7 in indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Western blots showed that all four MAbs could specifically react with CTV CP. Using the prepared MAbs, dot-ELISA, Tissue print-ELISA, and triple antibody sandwich （TAS）-ELISA were developed to detect CTV in tree nurseries and epidemiological studies. The developed dot-ELISA and TAS-ELISA methods could detect CTV in crude extracts of infected citrus leaves with dilutions of 1：2560 and 1：10, 240 （w/v, g/mL）, respectively. Tissue print-ELISA was particularly useful for large-scale field sample detection, mainly owing to its simplicity and lack of sample preparation requirements. The field survey revealed that CTV is prevalent on citrus trees in the Chongqing Municipality, Jiangxi Province, and Zhejiang Province of China. The coincidence rate of serological and RT-PCR test results reached more than 99.5%. The prepared MAbs against CTV and established sensitive and specific serological assays have a significant role in the detection and prevention and control of CTV in our country.展开更多

In this study, purified MCMV particles were used as the immunogen to produce monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and polyclonal antibodies (PAbs). Four murine MAbs (4B8, 8C11, 6F4, and 9G1) against MCMV were obtained through the hybridoma technology. The triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA), dot-immunobinding assay (DIBA), and immunocapture reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (IC-RT-PCR) using the MAb 4B8 were then developed for sensitive, specific, and rapid detection of MCMV in fields. MCMV could be detected in infected leaf crude extracts at dilutions of 1:327 680, 1:64000, and 1:3276800 (w/v, g/ml) by TAS-ELISA, DIBA, and IC-RT-PCR, respectively. One hundred and sixty-one maize field samples showing virus-like symptoms and sixty-nine symptomless maize field samples from ten different provinces of China were collected and screened for the presence of MCMV using the established serological methods. A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the full length CP genes and Chinese MCMV isolates formed one branch with Thailand isolates. The detection results demonstrated that MCMV is one of most prevalent viruses infecting maize in the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces of China.展开更多

文摘从浙江宁波雪里蕻上获得97株呈花叶症状的病毒样品,利用三抗体夹心酶联免疫吸附测定(TAS-ELISA)在97株雪里蕻花叶样品中均检测到芜菁花叶病毒(Turnip m osaic virus,TuMV),所有的样品都没有检测到黄瓜花叶病毒(Cu-cum berm osaic virus,CMV)和烟草花叶病毒(Tobacco m osaic virus,TMV);利用免疫捕捉反转录PCR(IC-RT-PCR)对部分TuMV样品中的CP和HC-Pro基因进行了扩增,所有样品都得到约0.8kb和1.4kb的2条特异条带,因此宁波雪里蕻花叶病的主要病原是TuMV。对53个雪里蕻栽培品种在温室和大田进行了人工接种,共鉴定出抗病品种7个,耐病品种22个,感病品种24个,未发现高抗品种。总的来说,细叶型品种比花叶型和板叶型品种抗病。利用TAS-ELISA方法对接种的53个雪里蕻品种中的TuMV浓度进行测定,在接种后10、15、20和30d,TuMV检出率分别为45.28%、90.57%、100%和100%,大多数雪里蕻OD405值随接种后天数的增加而呈上升趋势,说明TuMV可以在雪里蕻抗性品种内繁殖,抗性品种的抗性主要表现为耐病。
