  • Patent number: 8232048
    Abstract: Provided herein are a hybridoma cell line producing monoclonal antibody against foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), the monoclonal antibody therefrom, reagent and kit for ELISA, and immunoassay method. The hybridoma cell line CmA40 as deposited under American Type Culture Collection patent deposit number PTA-11304 is produced by cell fusion of a parental cell and a myeloma cell line. The parental cell is a splenocyte isolated from the spleen of a mouse immunized by an antigen derived from a 3ABC non-structural protein (NSP) of FMDV. The antigen used here is expressed by a prokaryotic cell. The monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma cell line CmA40 as deposited under American Type Culture Collection patent deposit number PTA-11304 can specifically recognize a 3ABC polypeptide and does not cross-react with an antiserum of swine vesicular disease virus.

    Abstract: Provided herein are a hybridoma cell line producing monoclonal antibody against foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), the monoclonal antibody therefrom, reagent and kit for ELISA, and immunoassay method. The hybridoma cell line is produced by cell fusion of a parental cell and a myeloma cell line and has the same characteristics as the cell line whose strain designation is CmA40 and deposition number is ATCC (To be Provided). The parental cell is a splenocyte isolated from the spleen of a mouse immunized by an antigen derived from a 3ABC non-structural protein (NSP) of FMDV. The antigen used here is expressed by a prokaryotic cell.

  • Patent number: 7700326
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rapid RT-PCR detection method and a diagnostic kit for differentiating field isolates of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) from lapinized CSF vaccine viruses in samples. In order to detecting different genotypes of CSF virus, this invention uses a pair (or pairs) of CSF virus specific primers designed from the conserved sequences within the 3?-untranslated region of CSFV which contains an insertion of 12˜13 nucleotides (poly T) in the region of the lapinized CSF vaccine virus, in comparison with the corresponding region of field isolates of CSFV. By the RT-PCR or the RT-PCR followed by a nest-PCR, field isolates of CSFV and lapinized CSF vaccine viruses in samples could be detected directly and quickly and/or differentiated in electrophoresis without further enzymatic digestion or DNA sequencing.

  • Publication number: 20100048423
    Abstract: A simultaneous detection, differentiation and typing system of Newcastle disease and avian influenza viruses is provided. The present invention provides a system, including an oligonucleotide microarray, avian virus specific probes is disposed on the oligonucleotide microarray and the avian viruses include Newcastle disease and avian influenza viruses, and avian virus nucleic acid products, hybridized with the avian virus specific probes on the oligonucleotide microarray. The present invention describes a fast, simultaneous and inexpensive approach to the detection of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and avian influenza virus (AIV) and possesses good sensitivity and specificity among divergent viruses. The hybridization results on microarrays were clearly identified with the naked eyes, with no further imaging equipment needed. The present invention provides potential for rapid surveillance and differential diagnosis of these two important zoonoses in both wild and domestic birds.

  • Publication number: 20080280296
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus with chromatographic strip test. Firstly, the nucleic acid sequence of FMDV NSPs is set up, the nucleic acid sequence is amplified by the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method, the recombinant vector is constructed and performed through a prokaryotic system to transform and express the recombinant protein, and the purified recombinant protein is mass produced. Design principles of the method are based on immunoassay and chromatographic analysis. The advantages are easy and simple to handle, no need of elaborate equipment, only one drop of body fluid is required to quickly complete the qualitative test in 10-20 minutes, and operating with a portable POCT (Point of care testing) instrument to complete the quantitative detection within 40-50 minutes.
