Monoclonal Antibodies Against NS3 and NS5 Proteins of Japanese Encephalitis Virus
Overview
Affiliations
Non-structural proteins NS3 and NS5 of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by dialysis. Two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) named 1H7 and 2D4 against NS3 protein and three MAbs named 3C4, 3H7, and 3F10 against NS5 protein were generated by fusing mouse myeloma cell line SP2/0 with spleen lymphocytes from NS3 or NS5 protein immunized mice. Then activity of MAbs was characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blot analysis, and indirect immunofluorescent assays (IFA). Our results demonstrated that all the MAbs showed high specificity and sensitivity in IFA at 1:100 dilution and in Western blot analysis at 1:500 dilution, which indicated that these MAbs against NS3 and NS5 proteins of JEV may be used as valuable tools for analysis of the protein functions and pathogenesis of JEV.
