Generation and Characterization of a Monoclonal Antibody Against an African Swine Fever Virus Protein Encoded by the A137R Gene
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The ongoing African swine fever (ASF) pandemic continues to have a major impact on global pork production and trade. Since ASF cannot be distinguished from other swine hemorrhagic fevers clinically, ASF-specific laboratory diagnosis is critical. Thus ASF virus (ASFV)-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are critical for the development of laboratory diagnostics. In this study, we report one ASFV-specific mAb, F88ASF-55, that was generated and characterized. A proteomic approach was performed to determine the sequence identities of the protein band (14 kDa) recognized by F88ASF-55. The stained protein band was excised, digested, and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. A total of 10 exclusive unique peptides and 15 exclusive unique spectra were identified (data not shown). The amino acid coverage (88/137) of the structural protein encoded by A137R was 64.2%. The results confirmed that the mAb-binding epitope is located on the protein encoded by A137R (formerly known as p11.5). Epitope mapping results revealed a highly conserved linear epitope recognized by this mAb, corresponding to amino acids 111-125 of pA137R.
