PG - 128896 LID - S0141-8130(23)05795-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128896 [doi] AB - The pandemic of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has caused huge economic losses and continues to threaten the swine industry worldwide. Nucleocapsid protein (N protein) is the primary antigen of PRRSV for development of sensitive diagnostic assays. Two high affinity nanobodies against N protein, Nb12 and Nb35, were selected and employed to develop a sandwich ELISA. Further we improved the ELISA method to obtain greater sensitivity, a trivalent nanobody (3 x Nb35) and a bivalent nanobody-HRP fusion protein (2 x Nb12-HRP) were expressed and used. This modified ELISA was found to have high sensitivity for detecting PRRSV, with a detection limit of 10 TCID(50)/ml (median tissue culture infectious dose), which was approximately 200-fold greater than the single-copy nanobody-based sandwich ELISA. The developed assay shows high specificity and can detect almost all circulating lineages of PRRSV-2 in China. This study provides suggestions for reforming nanobodies and for the further development of multivalent nanobody-based ELISAs for other various viruses. CI - Copyright (c) 2023.
