Abstract
Currently, there are numerous under development or developed assays with various sensitivities and specificities for diagnosis of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) has approved several detection protocols based on real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and the reliability of tests to detect the N, S, or RdRp/Hel genes of the SARS-Cov-2 virus has also investigated. Among these targets, COVID-19-RdRp/Hel targets represented the highest sensitivity. Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) has also been developed to rapidly and efficiently amplify RNA under isothermal conditions. Other isothermal amplification approaches such as nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA), recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), and rolling circle amplification (RCA) have also been reported for detecting coronaviruses but like LAMP assay. Different serological tests, including neutralization tests, immunofluorescent (IFA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA), and western blotting assays, are available. Point-of-care tests (POCT) are emerging to detect the virus genome, IgG, or IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. The advent of more sensitive, cheaper, and easier-to-perform diagnostic tests seems to be a fundamental prerequisite to improve the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. Herein, we reviewed several commercially available diagnostic methods used in many clinical laboratories to detect COVID-19.

Abstract
Identification of pathogens or antibody response to pathogens in human and animals modulates the treatment strategies for naive population and subsequent infections. Diseases can be controlled and even eradicated based on the epidemiology and effective prophylaxis, which often depends on development of efficient diagnostics. In addition, combating newly emerging diseases in human as well as animal healthcare is challenging and is dependent on developing safe and efficient diagnostics. Detection of antibodies directed against specific antigens has been the method of choice for documenting prior infection. Other than zoonosis, development of inexpensive vaccines and diagnostics is a unique problem in animal healthcare. The advent of recombinant DNA technology and its application in the biotechnology industry has revolutionized animal healthcare. The use of recombinant DNA technology in animal disease diagnosis has improved the rapidity, specificity and sensitivity of various diagnostic assays. This is because of the absence of host cellular proteins in the recombinant derived antigen preparations that dramatically decrease the rate of false-positive reactions. Various recombinant products are used for disease diagnosis in veterinary medicine and this article discusses recombinant-based viral disease diagnostics currently used for detection of pathogens in livestock and poultry.

Abstract
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) specific for maedi visna virus (MVV) has never been described. The IgG antibody response to MVV is restricted to an IgG1 response whilst MVV specific IgG2 is never seen in persistently infected sheep. To determine whether the isotypic restriction of the antibody response is responsible for the lack of ADCC, an ADCC assay was developed using polyclonal serum raised to recombinant MVV ENV protein. Sheep immunised with a recombinant GST:SUenv fusion protein in complete Freund's adjuvant produced an antibody response which contained IgG1 and IgG2 antibodies. The activity of this serum in an ADCC assay was compared to serum from persistently infected sheep. Serum from immunised sheep mediated ADCC reactions whilst no activity was ever seen in persistently infected sheep serum. IgG2 may therefore be the possible effector isotype for ADCC reactions against MVV. Failure of the IgG2 dependent ADCC system in vivo may contribute to the persistence of MVV-infected macrophages in vivo.

Abstract
The validation of assays for bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) in cattle is hampered by the absence of a gold standard. Two tests that often are used to detect BIV are the indirect fluorescent-antibody assay (IFA) and the nested-set polymerase chain-reaction assay (PCR). IFA detects an antibody response whereas PCR detects the provirus in white blood cells. Using Bayesian techniques performed simultaneously on animals from two different dairy herds, we estimated the performance of the IFA and PCR assays and infection prevalence. Bayesian techniques also were used to derive posterior distributions of sensitivities, specificities, and prevalences. The Bayesian estimates were IFA sensitivity=60%, IFA specificity=88%, PCR sensitivity=80%, PCR specificity=86%, Herd A prevalence=20%, and Herd B prevalence=71%. Although PCR was the more sensitive assay, substantial misclassification of infection would be expected in epidemiological studies of BIV regardless of which assay was used.

Abstract
Bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) and Jembrana disease virus (JDV) are bovine lentiviruses that are closely related genetically. A recombinant fusion protein containing the capsid protein of BIV expressed in Escherichia coli was used to immunize mice and produce monoclonal antibodies. Six hybridomas specific for BIV capsid protein were identified, and one antibody, designated 10H1, was characterized further. Competitive binding assays were performed to analyze the topography of antigenic determinants by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and demonstrated the existence of at least three distinct antigenic determinants on capsid protein. The monoclonal antibody reacted specifically with both BIV capsid and the recombinant fusion protein in Western immunoblot analyses. However, it did not react with the recombinant capsid fusion protein of JDV, indicating that BIV contains at least one unique epitope in the capsid protein that is absent in JDV. Further mapping of the epitope by chemical cleavage analysis identified that the epitope is located at the 6.4-kDa N terminus of the 29-kDa capsid protein. This monoclonal antibody assay will be valuable for distinguishing the two closely related lentiviruses by Western blotting.

Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was established for the rapid detection of specific bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) antibodies in cattle, using recombinant Gag protein as an antigen. The gag coding region from BIV was cloned into an expression vector, pQE32, which expressed high levels of recombinant protein from Escherichia coli. The ELISA was standardized by a checkerboard titration against known BIV-positive and -negative sera from cattle and a monoclonal antibody to the Gag protein. A total of 139 cattle serum samples, from the diagnostic laboratory at Kansas State University, Manhattan, and from the Dairy Station, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, were compared by ELISA and immunoblot assays for the detection of BIV-specific antibodies. Of 26 cattle sera samples which tested positive using the immunoblot assay, 23 were positive by ELISA, thus establishing a strong correlation between the two tests. The sensitivity and specificity of ELISA relative to immunoblotting were 0.88 and 0.93, respectively. ELISA proved to be as specific as immunoblotting but was much less time-consuming and easier to perform.

Abstract
The expression of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) truncated transmembrane envelope protein (designated hereafter tTM) in insect cells has been described previously (Abed, Y., St-Laurent, G., Zhang, H., Jacobs, R.M., Archambault, D., 1999. Development of a Western blot assay for detection of bovine immunodeficiency-like virus using capsid and transmembrane proteins expressed from recombinant baculovirus. Clin. Diagn. Lab. Immunol. 6, 168-172). In this study, a tTM-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the serodetection of BIV infection. A total of 109 bovine sera including 86 BIV-negative and 23 BIV-positive serum samples were tested. The ELISA results were compared with those of three Western blot assays using, as test antigens, cell culture-derived whole virus proteins (WB1), and the tTM (WB2) and p26 (WB3) fusion proteins expressed from recombinant baculovirus in insect cells, respectively. The concordances of the ELISA results with those of the WB1, WB2, and WB3 were 97.2, 100 and 97.2%, respectively. The tTM protein-based ELISA and Western blot permitted the detection of BIV infection in cattle whose sera failed to react with the p26 fusion protein and the whole virus protein preparation. The tTM recombinant protein was also used to study the kinetics of appearance of antibodies against BIV transmembrane envelope protein in rabbits infected experimentally with BIV. Antibodies to tTM were detected at 28 days post-infection and persisted through the entire 36-39.5 months experimental time period. The results of this study showed that the tTM-ELISA might be useful for the serodetection of BIV-infected animals, and for basic studies on BIV replication life cycle.

Abstract
A 120-amino-acid polypeptide selected from the transmembrane protein region (tTM) and the major capsid protein p26 of bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV) were expressed as fusion proteins from recombinant baculoviruses. The antigenic reactivity of both recombinant fusion proteins was confirmed by Western blot with bovine and rabbit antisera to BIV. BIV-negative bovine sera and animal sera positive for bovine syncytial virus and bovine leukemia virus failed to recognize the recombinant fusion proteins, thereby showing the specificity of the BIV Western blot. One hundred and five bovine serum samples were tested for the presence of anti-BIV antibodies by the recombinant protein-based Western blot and a reference Western blot assay using cell culture-derived virions as test antigens. There was a 100% concordance when the p26 fusion protein was used in the Western blot. However, the Western blot using the tTM fusion protein as its test antigen identified four BIV-positive bovine sera which had tested negative in both the p26 recombinant-protein-based and the reference Western blot assays. This resulted in the lower concordance of 96.2% between the tTM-protein-based and reference Western blot assays. The results of this study showed that the recombinant p26 and tTM proteins can be used as test antigens for the serodetection of BIV-infection in animals.
