Abstract:

In this study, a strain of F-type enterovirus was isolated from bovine enterovirus(BEV) positive feces through plaque purification by inoculating BHK cells. After being correctly identified by RT-PCR, it was sent to a biological company for whole-genome sequencing and TCID50 determination. The whole genome of BEV was analyzed and a genetic evolution tree was constructed using bioinformatics software such as MEGA11.0. The recombinant protein containing the VP3 gene of the BEV isolate was obtained through prokaryotic expression and used as a coating antigen to establish an indirect ELISA method for detecting antibodies. The specificity, sensitivity, and repeatability of the established ELISA method were measured and used for the detection of clinical samples. The results showed that the TCID50 of the BEV isolate was 10-6.26·mL-1, and the full length of the virus isolate was 7 439 nt, with an ORF size of 6 504 bp, encoding 2 168 amino acids. It had the closest genetic relationship and the highest nucleotide homology with F-type enterovirus BEV4. Therefore, the isolated virus was an F-type enterovirus, temporarily named BEV-QD. Compared with other F-type strains, the BEV-QD strain had amino acid mutations and deletions, mostly concentrated in the P2 and P3 regions. The indirect ELISA method for antibody detection established in this study had good repeatability; the results remained positive after the positive serum was diluted 1 600 times, indicating good sensitivity; it did not specifically bind to positive sera such as BVDV, indicating good specificity; among the 40 clinical samples tested, 13 were positive, with a positive rate of 32.5%. This study isolated an F-type bovine enterovirus mutant strain and established an indirect ELISA method for antibody detection, providing a basic means for the detection and prevention of bovine enterovirus.
