Abstract:

The aim of this study was to establish an indirect ELISA method for the detection of porcine teschovirus (PTV) type 5 and to provide a material reserve for its prevention and control. PTV is an acute virulent pathogen of pigs, which is characterized by high morbidity and mortality. The clinical manifestations include encephalitis, pneumonia, reproductive disorders, myocarditis, and diarrhea. PTV can be divided into various subtypes. The clinical symptoms vary from each other. Therefore, lacking of efficient and specific serological detection methods blocks the control and prevention of PTV-5. This study inserted the VP1 gene of PTV-5 into pET-30a plasmid and obtained the VP1 protein. After optimizing the conditions, an indirect ELISA method against the VP1 of PTV-5 was successfully established. The method has no cross-reactivity with the standard positive sera of common porcine viruses. The lowest detection dilution was 1∶3 200, and the coefficients of variation were less than 10% both intra-and inter-batch, showing good specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility of the method. A total of 279 clinical samples collected from the northeast were detected by this method. The results showed that the positive rate was 67.74%, which was in consistent with previous report. The indirect ELISA assay established in this study has a good overall evaluation and provides technical support for the clinical detection of PTV-5.
