The optimal dilution of the capture antibody and detecting antibody capable of detecting the flavivirus strain JS804 in geese were 1：3 200 and 1：160 in the check-board titration, respectively. The reaction time of sample was 1 h, and the optimal working dilution of HRP-labeled goat-anti-mouse IgG was 1：10 000. The positive standard value was 0.247 （OD450.m）. The geese flavivirus could be detected at a minimal concentration of 1.875 μg mL^-1. The ELISA had no cross-reaction with Newcastle disease virus （NDV）, Avian influenza virus （AIV）, Infectious bronchitis virus （IBV）, Infectious bursal disease virus （IBDV）, Duck hepatitis virus （DHV）, and Gosling plague virus （GPV）. Twenty clinical samples were detected by the DAS-ELISA and RT-PCR respectively, with the agreement rate of 75%. The results revealed that the DAS-ELISA possessed favorable specificity and higher sensitivity, indicating a suitable method for rapid detection of the duck or goose flavivirus.展开更多

However, GP73 levels in patients remain controversial due to the specificity of the anti-GP73 antibody-based enzyme linked immunosorbent as- say （ELISA）. Therefore, an anti-GP73 antibody with high specificity was highly demanded. In the present study, by hybridoma screening, we generated an anti-GP73 monoclonal antibody （mAb） designated as 6A2 using recom- binant GP73 protein produced by prokaryotic expression. The specificity of 6A2 was evaluated by Western blot- ting, immunohistochemistry and immunoprecipitation. The results showed that 6A2 recognized GP73 in both native and denatured forms. In addition, we have developed a sandwich ELISA using 6A2 and GP73 polyclonal antibody generated in New Zealand white rabbits according to standard procedures, and measured the serum GP73 level of patients using this assay. Our results showed that serum GP73 levels of HCC patients were significantly higher than those of healthy controls （P = 0.0036）. Furthermore, for the first time, GP73 serum level was found to be elevated in patients with breast cancer compared with healthy controls （P = 0.0172）.展开更多

[Method] High titer serum against SVDV was prepared respectively by inoculated rabbits and guinea pigs with purified virus. To develop an indirect sandwich ELISA, the optimum concentrations of capture antibody, detection antibody, enzyme conjugate and standard antigen were determined using block titration, and positive threshold value was also determined. The specificity, sensitivity and repeatability of the developed IELISA were evaluated using cross-reaction test, comparison test and intra-assay repeated test. In addition, standard samples and clinical samples were detected by this method. [ Result] The best working conditions of the developed ELISA are as follows： capture antibody, 1：400; detection antibody, 1 ： 200; enzyme conjugate, 1 ： 8 000; and standard antigen, 1 ： 4. The positive threshold value was found to be 0.20. For the detection by the developed EUSA, no cross-reaction with foot and mouth disease was observed. The developed ELISA had close sensitivity with ELISA recommended by the World Organisation for Animal Health （OIE） but had sensitivity 2 -4 times higher than that of reverse indirect hernagglutination test. In addition, the developed method also had good reproducibility, and the detection results of standard samples were in line withtheir own background. All the 36 clinical samples were negative in the developed ELISA. [ Conclusion] The developed indirect sandwich ELISA can be used for diagnosis of swine vesicular disease.展开更多

CD8 is composed of two chains. Of these, the CD8α chain was chosen for the detection because it involved in both the CD8αα homodimer and the CD8αβ heterodimer. Here, we established a double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（DAS-ELISA） for specific detection of goose CD8α（go CD8α）. The results showed that the optimal coated antibody and antigen dilutions were 1：50（the antibody titer was 1：12 800） and 1：32（0.3 ng m L^–1）, respectively, while the optimal capture antibody and horseradish peroxidase（HRP）-labelled goat anti-rabbit Ig G dilutions were 1：50（the antibody titer was 1：51 200） and 1：4 000（the antibody titer was 1：5 000）, respectively. The optimal blocking buffer was 5% bovine serum albumin（BSA）. The best incubating condition was overnight at 4℃, the best blocking time was 120 min and the best anti-capture antibody working time was 150 min. In addition, the minimum dose detectable by DAS-ELISA was 5×10^–3 ng m L^–1. Most importantly, go CD8α expression levels in goose spleen mononuclear cells（MNCs） post-Goose parvoviruse（GPV） infection were found to be significantly up-regulated using the DAS-ELISA method, which was consistent with previous results obtained using real-time quantitative PCR. In conclusion, the DAS-ELISA method reported here is a novel, specific technique for the clinical detection of go CD8α.展开更多
