Development of a double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for rapid detection of VZV.
Journal of Virological Methods 2023 December 27
BACKGROUND: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is the pathogen of varicella and herpes zoster, it is necessary to develop a rapid, sensitive and specific detection method for the prevention and control of related diseases.
METHODS: We inserted the gB protein extracellular region gene (gB-ex, 1-2208bp) of VZV into lentivirus vector, and then obtained the recombinant gB protein through mammalian expression system. BALB/c mice were immunized multiple times with purified gB protein as immunogen. Then four strains of high affinity monoclonal antibodies targeting gB protein were prepared by cell fusion technique. Monoclonal antibodies 5G4 and HRP-4E9 were selected as capture and detection antibodies respectively, and a double-antibody sandwich ELISA method was established for detection.
RESULTS: The detection limit of the DAS-ELISA was 156 PFU/mL, and there was no cross-reaction with Herpes simplex virus-1/Herpes simplex virus-2/Pseudorabies virus. The coefficients of variation of intra-assay and inter-assay repeatability were less than 5%.
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, a double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) was established for the detection of VZV. The assay has good sensitivity, specificity and repeatability, which provides strong technical support and product guarantee for the rapid clinical detection of VZV.
