Abstract:

The aim of this study was to establish an indirect ELISA antibody detection method based on the ORF002 protein of the Lumpy Skin Disease Virus (LSDV). By constructing the recombinant plasmid pET-30a(+) -ORF002 and inducing its expression, a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 13 ku was obtained. The ORF002 protein, verified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot, was used as the encapsulation antigen to establish an indirect ELISA antibody detection method for LSDV and to optimize the conditions. The optimized conditions for the indirect ELISA were as follows: antigen encapsulation concentration of 2.5 μg·mL-1, serum dilution of 1∶100, secondary antibody dilution of 1∶120 000, and the OD450 nm value of the sample≥standard positive value×20.34% was determined as positive, conversely, OD450 nm value below this threshold were considered negative. The coefficient of variation from the repeatability test was < 10%, and there was no cross-reactivity observed with positive sera from various viruses. This method demonstrates good sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, making it suitable for the detection of LSDV in clinical serum samples and for evaluating the effectiveness of vaccine immunization.
