[PMID: 38782651 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetpar.2024.110213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Trichinellosis is a serious foodborne and zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Trichinella family. At present, the main on-site detection method for Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis) infection is the lateral flow assay (LFA). Other diagnostic techniques for this parasite cannot be applied to on-site testing due to their reliance on special instruments. Here, we established an ELISA smartphone-based method for detecting anti-T. spiralis antibodies in pig serum. The use of horseradish peroxidase-labeled goat anti-pig IgG-modified gold nanoparticle (AuNPs@HRP-IgG) effectively increased the sensitivity of the method. The entire reaction was carried out at room temperature without the need for special instruments. A low-cost and portable device for imaging and processing experimental data was also developed. Validation analysis revealed that the specificity of the test was 98.89 %, while its sensitivity was 100.00 %. T. spiralis antibodies could be detected in pig serum beginning at 25 dpi after infection with the muscle larvae. This visual immunosensor facilitates on-site detection of T. spiralis, especially in regions lacking specialized laboratory equipment.

Computationally-driven epitope identification of PEDV N-protein and its application in development of immunoassay for PEDV detection. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2023; 235:115660. [PMID: 37598469 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2023.115660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
The nucleocapsid (N) protein is a suitable candidate for early diagnosis of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). Here, we identified the linear B-cell epitopes of the PEDV N-protein by integrating a computational-experimental framework and constructed three-dimensional (3D) structure model of the N protein using the ColabFold program in Google Colaboratory. Furthermore, we prepared the monoclonal antibodies against the predicted epitopes and recombinant N protein, respectively, and selected pairing mAbs (named 9C4 and 3C5) to develop a double-antibody sandwich immunochromatographic test strip using CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs)-labelled 9C4 and 3C5 as capture and detection antibodies, respectively. This strip can specifically detect PEDV within 10 min with a detection limit of less than 6.25 × 103 TCID50/mL. In comparison with RT-PCR for testing 90 clinical samples, the relative sensitivity and specificity of the strip were found to be 98.0% and 100%, respectively, with a concordance rate of 98.9% and a kappa value of 0.978, indicating that QDs-ICTS is a reliable method for the application of PEDV detection in clinical samples.

Identification of a Novel Linear B-Cell Epitope of HbpA Protein from Glaesserella parasuis Using Monoclonal Antibody. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:8638. [PMID: 37239984 PMCID: PMC10218323 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24108638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Glaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis.) is the etiological pathogen of Glässer's disease, which causes high economic losses to the pig industry. The heme-binding protein A precursor (HbpA) was a putative virulence-associated factor proposed to be potential subunit vaccine candidate in G. parasuis. In this study, three monoclonal antibodies (mAb) 5D11, 2H81, and 4F2 against recombinant HbpA (rHbpA) of G. parasuis SH0165 (serotype 5) were generated by fusing SP2/0-Ag14 murine myeloma cells and spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with the rHbpA. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) demonstrated that the antibody designated 5D11 showed a strong binding affinity with the HbpA protein and was chosen for subsequent experiments. The subtypes of the 5D11 were IgG1/κ chains. Western blot analysis showed that mAb 5D11 could react with all 15 serotype reference strains of G. parasuis. None of the other bacteria tested reacted with 5D11. In addition, a linear B-cell epitope recognized by 5D11 was identified by serial truncations of HbpA protein and then a series of truncated peptides were synthesized to define the minimal region that was required for mAb 5D11 binding. The 5D11 epitope was located on amino acids 324-LPQYEFNLEKAKALLA-339 by testing the 5D11 monoclonal for reactivity with 14 truncations. The minimal epitope 325-PQYEFNLEKAKALLA-339 (designated EP-5D11) was pinpointed by testing the mAb 5D11 for reactivity with a series of synthetic peptides of this region. The epitope was highly conserved among G. parasuis strains, confirmed by alignment analysis. These results indicated that mAb 5D11 and EP-5D11 might potentially be used to develop serological diagnostic tools for G. parasuis. Three-dimensional structural analysis revealed that amino acids of EP-5D11 were in close proximity and may be exposed on the surface of the HbpA protein.

Lateral flow immunoassay strips based on europium(III) chelate microparticle for the rapid and sensitive detection of Trichinella spiralis infection in whole blood samples of pigs.

[PMID: 36017365 PMCID: PMC9395740 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.955974] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Trichinellosis is a major food-borne parasitosis caused by ingesting raw or semi-raw meat products from pigs infected with Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis). Although China is the largest consumer of pork in the world, the current diagnostic method of T. spiralis is exclusively performed in a laboratory setting, due to its complexity and laborious procedure. Here, in order to solve the detection problems in the pig breeding industry, a rapid, sensitive, and on-site serological diagnosis method was developed. The novel lateral flow immunoassay strip (ICS) is based on europium(III) chelate microparticle (ECM) to detect T. spiralis-specific IgG antibody in the serum and whole blood samples from pigs. The structure of the blood-filtering pad and the conjugate pad was added to the ICS, allowing for whole blood samples to be detected and enabling on-site deployment. By comparing the detection results of the serum samples and the whole blood samples, the detection limit of this method was evaluated. Thereafter, this method was used to investigate Trichinella infection in Chongqing, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, and Liaoning provinces of China, and the results were almost consistent with the standard method of artificial digestion. Taking advantage of its user-friendly procedure, short detection time (3 min), and sensitivity, the ECM-ICS could be employed for monitoring the epidemic of Trichinella infection and ensuring meat safety.
