Detection of Maedi-Visna virus antibodies using a single fusion transmembrane-core p25 recombinant protein ELISA and a modified receiver-operating characteristic analysis to determine cut-off values

The core p25 and transmembrane (TM) genes of Maedi-Visna virus (MVV) were cloned individually into the pGEX-2T expression vector. Both proteins were expressed as a combined fusion protein in frame with glutathione S-transferase (GST). The purified recombinant antigens (GST-TM and GST-TM-p25) were us...

Popis
Shrnutí:The core p25 and transmembrane (TM) genes of Maedi-Visna virus (MVV) were cloned individually into the pGEX-2T expression vector. Both proteins were expressed as a combined fusion protein in frame with glutathione S-transferase (GST). The purified recombinant antigens (GST-TM and GST-TM-p25) were used to develop a MVV ELISA. A preliminary assessment of the diagnostic potential of the recombinant antigens (GST-TM and GST-TM-p25) was made by testing the antigens against 46 seropositive and 46 seronegative sheep and comparing the results with a commercial p25 ELISA kit. A two-graph receiver operating characteristic (TG-ROC) analysis program was used to interpret the data. The GST-TM-p25 ELISA was more sensitive than the commercial assay which is based on the p25 antigen alone and more specific than the GST-TM ELISA.
