GP5 and N protein are important targets for serological detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and other methods. Toward this goal,we developed an indirect ELISA with recombinant GP5 antigens and this method was validated by comparison to the LSI PRRSV-Ab ELISA kit. The results indicated that the optimal concentration of coated recombinant antigen was 0.2 μg/well for a serum dilution of 1:40. The rate of agreement with the LSI PRRSV-Ab kit was 88.7% (266/300). These results support the potential use of recombinant GP5 as an antigen for indirect ELISA to detect PRRSV antibodies in pigs.展开更多

Out of 180 sero-samples, 46 (25.55%) were positive. Females of the age range 18-35 years had the highest rate of sero-positive samples 14 (38.88%), while the highest percentage of sero-negative samples was found in males of the age range 50-80 years. The other sero-positive samples were: 6 (26.08%), 6 (25%) and 3 (11.53%) in males of ages between 18-35, 35-50 and 50-80 years, respectively, and 11 (29.72%) and 6 (17.64%) in females in the age ranges 35-50 and 50-80 years, respectively. The mean concentration of Anti- B. burgdorferi antibody was higher (16.7 U/mL) when compared with mean concentration of normal value (5.5 U/mL), P 〈 0.001.展开更多
