Abstract:

This study aims to establish a chemiluminescence immunoassay for the detection of anti-PPRV H protein antibody. Four epitope peptides of B cell epitope of H protein, with good reactivity, were used as the detection antigen after synthesized together. After determining the antigen concentration for coating and working dilution for serum, the optimization of the incubation time for serum and enzyme-labeled secondary antibody, the ROC curve analysis was performed to determine the cut-off value of the assay. Thus the chemiluminescence immunoassay for the detection of anti-PPRV H protein was constructed, and the sensitivity, specificity and repeatability of this assay were evaluated. Results showed that the optimal coating concentration of antigen of this assay was 1.5×10-6 μg/well, the optimal working dilution of the serum to be tested were 1∶100, and the incubation time of serum, and enzyme-labeled secondary antibody were 10 min respectively. The cut-off value of the assay was S/P=9.77%, the intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were tested to be < 10%. There was no cross-reaction obtained when positive sera of FMD, sheep pox, BT, and contagious caprine pleuropneumonia were used to test the assay, indicating that the assay had reasonable specificity. The detection results of 247 field sera showed that the established assay had a relative coincidence rate of 94.33% and much more sensitivity when compared with commercially available PPRV c-ELISA kit. In conclusion, this study has developed a specific, sensitive and stable chemiluminescence immunoassay method for detecting antibodies of PPRV H protein, which can be used to detect PPRV antibodies in field serum samples.
