PG - 225-30 AB - Sera from pigs infected with the European porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), strain Lelystad virus (LV), were screened by indirect ELISA for antibodies that bound to a series of overlapping synthetic peptides covering amino acids (AA) 19-60 of the primary envelope glycoprotein (GP)5. Antibodies were detected that bound to an epitope(s) located in an ectodomain segment composed of AA 38-54. The antibodies strongly cross-reacted with peptides specific for the North American PRRSV VR2332. Antibodies with the same specificity were present in sera of pigs infected in the US with a European-like PRRSV. Competitive ELISA using overlapping 8-10-AA-long peptides confirmed that the epitope recognized by the antibodies from LV-infected pigs is located in the same segment as the neutralization epitopes previously identified for PRRSV VR2332 and the closely related arterivirus, lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV). No antibodies were detected that bound to synthetic peptides representing further upstream GP5 segments that have been reported to carry neutralization or non-neutralization epitopes of some PRRSV isolates.
