PG - 623-635 LID - 10.1007/s11262-017-1472-9 [doi] AB - Nonstructural protein 7 (nsp7) of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is considered to be a suitable reagent for the development of serological diagnostic assays. It can be expressed as a soluble recombinant protein in Escherichia coli, and its antibody response may continue up to 202 days post-infection. Furthermore, the region encoded by nsp7 is highly homologous among various strains within the genotype, and the results of nsp7-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed high agreement with previous Idexx ELISA results. All these evidences suggest the existence of important epitopes on nsp7, though the characteristics of these epitopes remain unclear. In the present study, we prepared three monoclonal antibodies against nsp7 protein and used them to screen the epitope-distribution characteristics of PRRSV nsp7 protein by phage-display technology. We identified a linear epitope NAWGDEDRLN at amino acids 153-162 type II PRRSV nsp7beta subunit. This newly defined epitope showed excellent reactivity with PRSSV-positive serum samples. These results further our understanding of the antigenic structure of nsp7 protein, and provide efficient reagents for PRRSV serological tests.
