Abstract
SUMMARY. A recombinant UL55 protein (pUL55) of duck enteritis virus (DEV), produced in Escherichia coli, was tested for diagnostic applicability in an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) as a coating antigen. Serum dilutions of 1∶6400 (0.025 µg) are the maximum detection limits of the pUL55-ELISA, according to the determined cut-off value of 0.330. Antigenic cross-reactivity investigation in heterologous sera of ducks failed to provide evidence that other viruses of ducks could hamper the serodiagnosis of DEV, and the inhibition assay revealed that the specific binding of antigen and antibody can be inhibited by pUL55, both of which demonstrated a good specificity of the established pUL55-ELISA. This assay was further validated by comparison with a commercial I-ELISA based on DEV (DEV-ELISA) and a neutralization test (NT). The results suggested that the sensitivity of pUL55-ELISA was almost as good as DEV-ELISA but was much higher than NT. The established pUL55-ELISA is a rapid, simple, s... RESUMEN. Detección serológica de virus de la enteritis del pato utilizando una técnica de ELISA indirecta basado en la proteína recombinante UL55. Se analizó una proteína recombinante UL55 (pUL55) del virus de la enteritis del pato (DEV), producida en Escherichia coli, para su aplicación diagnóstica como el antígeno de recubrimiento de un ensayo de inmunoabsorción con enzimas ligadas de tipo indirecto (I-ELISA). Las diluciones de suero de 1∶6400 (0.025 mg) fueron los límites de detección máxima de la técnica de ELISA para la proteína pUL55, de acuerdo con el valor de corte que se determinó era 0.330. La investigación sobre la antigenicidad cruzada con sueros heterólogos no aportó evidencia de que otros virus de patos podrían dificultar el diagnóstico serológico del virus de la enteritis de los patos, y el ensayo de inhibición reveló que la uniones específicas de antígeno y anticuerpo pueden ser inhibidas por la proteína pUL55, los cuales demostraron una buena especificidad de la técnica establecida de ELI...This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
