Comparison of ELISA and immunoblotting techniques for the detection of cherry mottle leaf virus

Formaldehyde treated cherry mottle leaf virus (ChMLV) and the isolated coat protein were used successfully for the production of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. The monoclonal antibodies had a titre of 1:51 200 and consisted of IgG1 and IgG2. The antibodies reacted with all 11 isolates of ChMLV, from five locations in Canada and the USA, included in this study. Several serological procedures were assessed to compare their sensitivity for detecting ChMLV. Plate-trapped antigen ELISA (PTA-ELISA) and dot-blot immunobinding assay (DBIA), using virus specific MAbs, were the most sensitive tests in this study. Triple antibody sandwich ELISA (TAS-ELISA) and Western blot were found to be less sensitive. Dilution of the samples appeared to increase the sensitivity of both PTA-ELISA and Western blot detection. Young leaves and flowers of Prunus avium were the best tissue for detecting the virus which could also be detected in the fruit and leaves of P. tomentosa. April and May were optimal for detection of the virus in the field, whereas both April to May and August to September were optimal for screenhouse-grown plants.     

Production of monoclonal antibodies against grouper nervous necrosis virus (GNNV) and development of an antigen capture ELISA

Five (2 IgG, 3 IgM) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the G9508KS strain of grouper nervous necrosis virus (GNNV) were produced and characterized. All 5 MAbs showed positive signals in the retina of GNNV-infected grouper larvae and in the cytoplasm of GNNV-infected GF-1 cells using immunohistochemistry staining. Two MAbs reacted with the denatured capsid protein derived from GNNV-infected GF-1 cells in Western blot analysis, but did not react with the GNNV recombinant capsid protein expressed by E. coli in an indirect immnunosorbent assay (ELISA). All 5 MAbs were able to neutralize GNNV, tiger puffer NNV (TPNNV) and barfin flounder NNV (BFNNV), while only 2 of the MAbs neutralized striped jack NNV (SJNNV). A capture ELISA system based on the use of MAbs for capture and a rabbit polyclonal antibody for detection was developed. When absorbance values higher than 0.5 were judged to be positive, the sensitivity of the capture ELISA system was 2.5 ng per well of purified GNNV protein or 6.5 x 10(4) TCID50 per well of GNNV supernatant from culture cells. This capture ELISA system could become a more specific and sensitive tool for NNV diagnosis in the field and in routine laboratories.     

Analysis of epitope structure of PSP94 (prostate secretory protein of 94 amino acids): (II) epitope mapping by monoclonal antibodies

PSP94 has shown potential to be a serum biomarker for evaluating prostate cancer. Studies of the epitope structure is crucial for this endeavour. In this article, we have used 15 different monoclonal antibodies (MAb) to analyse the epitope structure of PSP94 and to compare with the results obtained from our previous work using polyclonal antibody and recombinant PSP94. Firstly, we determined the relative activities of the 15 MAb population by direct and competitive ELISA. The two predominant MAbs (MAb PSP-6 and -19) in 15 MAbs were selected for further studies of the epitope structure. By comparing the binding activities of recombinant GST-PSP94 and natural PSP94 with MAbs, and by comparing their affinity with MAbs in an in vitro denaturing experiment, PSP94 was shown to have a similar, prevalently linear epitope structure as we demonstrated by polyclonal antibody. Using recombinant GST fusion protein with PSP94 and with each half of the N- and C-terminal 47 amino acids (GST-PSP-N47/C47) in E. coli cells, the different epitopes recognized by 15 monoclonal antibodies were delineated and the polar distribution of the epitope structure of PSP94 was characterized. Results of direct ELISA of recombinant N47 and C47 and their competitive binding against natural PSP94 (competitive ELISA) showed that the N- and C-termini represent the immuno-dominant and immuno-recessive area separately. A majority of the monoclonal antibodies (12/15) showed preferential binding of the N-terminal sequence of the PSP94 protein. Using GST-PSP-N47 as a standard protein, an epitope map of the 15 monoclonal antibodies was obtained. The results of this study will help to define the clinical utility of PSP94. J. Cell.

Preparation of monoclonal antibodies against a glycolipid asialo GM1

Five IgM monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-4, and MW-5, against a glycolipid asialo GM1 were prepared from hybridoma clones obtained by the fusion of mouse NS-1 myeloma cells with spleen cells from a mouse immunized with asialo GM1 adsorbed to naked Salmonella. All the MAbs reacted only with asialo GM1 when their reactivities were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC)-immunostaining using structurally related glycolipids. The MAbs showed a complement-dependent lysis of mouse natural killer (NK) cells, but the lytic activities were weaker than that of a rabbit polyclonal anti-asialo GM1 antibody. When they were mixed, the anti-NK activity was increased to a level almost comparable to that of the polyclonal antibody. These results suggest that all the MAbs obtained are specific for asialo GM1 and that they may be different in fine specificity for the glycolipid. Significance of the MAbs in immunological and neurochemical studies is discussed.     

Monoclonal antibodies for the detection and differentiation of faba bean necrotic yellows virus isolates

Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced for the detection of faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV), an isometric ssDNA virus belonging to a new, yet unnamed genus of plant viruses. A total of 19 FBNYV-specific MAbs were obtained from three fusion experiments and characterised by determining their immunoglobulin types and titres as well as their corresponding epitopes. At least six distinct epitopes were revealed on FBNYV particles of different virus isolates. Only two MAbs reacted with SDS-dissociated FBNYV virions in triple antibody sandwich (TAS)-ELISA and with viral capsid protein in Western blots. Almost all MAbs were more sensitive in detecting FBNYV in viruliferous aphids by TAS-ELISA than polyclonal anti-FBNYV IgG by double antibody sandwich ELISA and permitted virus detection in individual aphids even following short acquisition access feeding periods. Coat protein variation among FBNYV isolates and serological relatedness to taxonomically similar viruses was studied by determining the cross reactivity of these MAbs with several field isolates of FBNYV as well as with milk vetch dwarf (MDV), banana bunchy top (BBTV), and subterranean clover stunt (SCSV) viruses. Whereas none of the MAbs reacted with BBTV, only one reacted with SCSV, indicating that FBNYV and SCSV share a common epitope. By contrast, 16 of the 19 MAbs reacted with MDV, suggesting that FBNYV and MDV are serologically closely related and strains of the same virus. When all 19 MAbs produced were tested against a total of 107 samples of FBNYV collected during virus surveys in Egypt, Ethiopia, Jordan, Morocco and Syria, five MAbs showed differential reactions. While the majority of the samples reacted with all 19 MAbs, about 20% of the 107 FBNYV samples did not react with one and/or other of these five MAbs, permitting the differentiation of seven serotypes of FBNYV and suggesting a considerable coat protein variation in FBNYV isolates from the countries surveyed. The MDV isolate from Japan and five FBNYV samples from Ethiopia appeared to be the least closely related to typical FBNYV isolates by not reacting with three and four, respectively, of the five differentiating Mabs.     

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Barley Yellow Mosaic Virus and Their Use in Detection of Four Bymoviruses

Six monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against a French isolate of barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) pathotype 2 were produced and their isotypes determined. These MAbs were compared in ELISA for their reactivity with different isolates of BaYMV, wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV), wheat spindle streak mosaic virus (WSSMV) and oat mosaic virus (OMV).The six MAbs detected BaYMV in TAS ELISA and western blot, whereas in ACP ELISA no reaction was observed with isolates of BaYMV and WYMV. These MAbs could recognize the sequential motifs situated at the surface of viral particles. The six MAbs detected all the European isolates of BaYMV pathotype 1 and 2 and the Japanese isolate of this viral pathotype 1–1. In contrast to other MAbs, MAb IV did not react with the Japanese isolate of BaYMV pathotype II-l. In TAS ELISA. MAbs I, II, III, and IV detected the Japanese isolate of WYMV and American isolates of WSSMV only when they were captured by anti-WYMV polyclonal antibodies, A French isolate of OMV was detected only by the MAbs I and II in TAS ELISA with Polyclonal anti-BaYMV.     

Time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay of potato virus M with monoclonal antibodies

Mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for potato virus M (PVM) were prepared and the properties of three of them were studied. MAb M4C1 is IgG2b, it binds with high affinity to PVM coat protein, to purified virus preparations and recognises PVM in infected potato leaves and tubers. MAb M6D5 is IgG2a and also reacts with PVM coat protein, purified PVM and with PVM in potato leaf and tuber extracts. In double-antibody sandwich ELISA (DAS ELISA) MAbs M4C1 and M6D5 reacted with all 17 PVM isolates tested. MAb M7 is IgG2b and recognises PVM only in indirect dot ELISA on nitrocellulose filters and viral coat protein on Western blots. MAbs against PVM were used as capture antibodies and europium-labelled MAbs as conjugates in time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (EuTRFIA). The standard EuTRFIA curve of PVM detection is approximately linear over a range of PVM concentrations from 0.5 ng/ml to 1000 ng/ml. The lowest PVM concentration detectable in EuTRFIA was 0.5 ng/ml and correspondingly 6 ng/ml in DAS ELISA. The use of the europium chelate label allows PVM detection in potato leaf and tuber sap at dilutions greater than 10^--⁴ with very low background fluorescence. EuTRFIA with MAbs, with either one or two incubations is about 10–20 times more sensitive for PVM detection than is DAS ELISA. PVM and PVX, mixed with healthy potato tuber sap, were simultaneously tested in a single sample at concentrations lower than 10 ng/ml by double-label TRFIA using europium-labelled MAbs to PVM and samarium-labelled MAbs to PVX.     

Evaluation of monoclonal antibodies against Plasmodium vivax sporozoites for ELISA development

Nine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) developed against Plasmodium vivax (Grassi & Feletti) salivary gland sporozoites were evaluated for use in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using sporozoites developed in Anopheles dirus Peyton & Harrison An. gambiae Giles and An.maculatus Theobald. Four of the antibodies were unsuitable due to the low sensitivity of the resulting assays or the requirement for high concentrations of capture antibody. An additional two MAbs were rejected because they resulted in assays with high background absorbance, attributed to self-binding. Of the three remaining MAbs, the use of Navy vivax sporozoite (NVS) 3 resulted in an ELISA with the highest sensitivity and the lowest concentration requirement for capture antibody. Assay sensitivity varied with sporozoite strain indicating possible quantitative epitope heterogeneity. None of the MAbs cross-reacted with the heterologous sporozoites tested by immunofluorescence antibody assay (IFA). The IFA activity was not an indicator of ELISA sensitivity. The use of MAb NVS 3 in a standardized ELISA method resulted in an assay 10 times more sensitive than reported previously for P. vivax sporozoites, with a detection limit of fewer than 100 sporozoites per mosquito.     

Differentiation of Bulgarian Isolates from Cucumber Mosaic Virus by Serological Methods

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is of great importance to the Bulgarian economy and hence a detailed knowledge of its diversity under local geographic and climatic conditions is required. An extended study was carried out on CMV strains the currently occur in Bulgaria. Fifty-one isolates and strains found in different regions and various crops were biologically characterized and serologically differentiated into subgroups I and II using different variants of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [double antibody sandwich (DAS)-, antigen-coated plate (ACP)-, triple antibody sandwich (TAS)- with poly and monoclonal antibodies] and immunodiffusion tests. The ELISA modifications with monoclonal antibodies individually (ACP) or in combination with polyclonal antibodies (TAS-ELISA) are suitable for mass screening of CMV isolates. The hyperimmune sera against strains from CMV subgroups I and II were very efficient for use in isolate differentiation via gel double immunodiffusion. The results obtained correlated with the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism data reported by other authors. The majority of the isolates belonged to subgroup I, whereas 10, mainly from tomato and pepper, belonged to subgroup II. Most of the subgroup II isolates came from the north of Bulgaria. The results of the present study will help to clarify the virus epidemiology and to develop specific control measures.

Production and some characteristics of monoclonal antibodies against beet necrotic yellow vein virus

Four rat monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) were produced. In indirect ELISA, all four MAbs reacted strongly with BNYVV infected plant leaf extracts (19 isolates from eight countries) but they did not react with beet soil-borne virus (BSBV), an unnamed rod-shaped soil-borne beet virus isolate (86 - 109) from Sweden or barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV). However, two of the MAbs, MAFF 6 and MAFF 7 did not detect BNYVV in ELISA of infected sugar beet roots whereas MAbs MAFF 8 and MAFF 9 did detect virus in root extracts. In electro-blot immunoassay (EBIA), MAFF 6 and MAFF 7 readily detected BNYVV coat protein from leaf extracts whereas MAFF 8 and MAFF 9 reacted only weakly. None of the MAbs reacted with BSBV, 86 - 109, BSMV or plum pox virus in EBIA. MAFF 6 coated BNYVV particles which were trapped from infected leaf or root sap on to electron microscope grids by polyclonal antibodies. MAFF 6 was partially purified from tissue culture supernatant fluid by cation exchange chromatography and the preparation used to coat microtitre plates and successfully trap BNYVV in ELISA of leaf sap extracts.     

Polyclonal bovine sera but not virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies block bovine leukemia virus (BLV) gp51 binding to recombinant BLV receptor BLVRcp1.

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), a transactivating lymphotropic retrovirus, is the etiologic agent of enzootic lymphosarcoma or leukemia in cattle. Sera from BLV-infected animals possess high BLV-neutralizing antibody titres. The availability of the recombinant BLV receptor candidate, BLVRcp1, allowed us to determine a mechanism of virus neutralization by polyclonal sera and monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Bovine sera from animals naturally infected with BLV blocked gp51 binding to recombinant BLVRcp1. In contrast, virus-neutralizing MAbs specific for gp51 F, G, and H epitopes did not prevent gp51-receptor attachment. Furthermore, gp51 neutralization epitopes F, G, and H were accessible to antibodies following gp51 attachment to BLVRcp1. This finding implies that virus neutralization by MAbs to defined BLV gp51 epitopes can occur subsequent to virus engagement of the receptor while polyclonal sera can specifically block virus attachment to the receptor. In conclusion, these data suggest that cell infection by BLV is a multistep process requiring receptor binding (inhibited by polyclonal sera) followed by a second, postbinding event(s) at the cell membrane (inhibited by anti-gp51 MAbs).     

Assay sensitivity and differentiation of monoclonal antibody specificity in ELISA with different coating buffers

Buffers of different pH and ionic strength were employed as coating buffers for antigen adsorption to microtitre plates. Their efficiency for coating plates with rinderpest virus (RPV) and foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) antigens was studied by ELISA with polyclonal and monoclonal antibody preparations. While the adsorption and detection of RPV antigen with polyclonal antiserum was highly dependent on the ionic strength and pH of coating buffer, adsorption of antigenically active FMDV antigen was relatively unaffected by the buffering conditions. Both antigens were adsorbed optimally in 0.01 M phosphate buffer, pH 8.0. When monoclonal antibodies were used to detect antigen, there was a greater degree of dependence on the coating buffer than that found with polyclonal antisera. Moreover, when they were used to detect antigen adsorbed under several buffering conditions, monoclonal antibodies showed a variety of preferred buffers. The usefulness of this differential reactivity in distinguishing epitope specificity is demonstrated.     

Serological detection and antigenic variation of two whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses: tobacco leaf curl and croton yellow vein mosaic viruses

A panel of 25 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against particles of two heterologous whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses (begomoviruses) was used in triple antibody-sandwich ELISA (TAS-ELISA) to determine the detectability and epitope profiles of 26 Indian isolates of tobacco leaf curl virus (TLCV) and 13 of croton yellow vein mosaic virus (CYVMV). Stock cultures of the two viruses had indistinguishable epitope profiles although they differ in symptomatology and particle stability. Their epitope profiles also strongly resembled those of Indian isolates of bhendi (okra) yellow vein mosaic and Indian cassava mosaic (ICMV) viruses. TLCV isolates from Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Karnataka States differed slightly in epitope profile: they reacted with at least eight out of 10 MAbs raised to ICMV but only one to four out of 15 MAbs raised to African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV). Virus isolates serologically indistinguishable from TLCV were detected in symptom-bearing weeds (Acanthospermum hispidum, Ageratum conyzoides, Euphorbia geniculata, Parthenium hysterophorus) found in leaf curl-affected tobacco fields and shown previously to be experimental hosts of TLCV. Indian TLCV isolates had small, consistent differences in epitope profile from Pakistani isolates but large differences from isolates from Burkina Faso, Malawi or Uganda. Isolates from the three African countries reacted with four or five of the ACMV MAbs but only one or two of the ICMV MAbs, and there were small but consistent inter-country differences. CYVMV isolates from three Indian States showed less epitope variation than did Indian isolates of TLCV. TAS-ELISA with MAb SCR 18 was a more sensitive test for detecting Indian TLCV isolates than was double antibody-sandwich ELISA with polyclonal antibodies.     

Monoclonal antibodies produced against antigenic determinants present in complex mixtures of proteins

This overview provides information concerning the production of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against specific antigenic determinants present in complex mixtures of proteins. We review five specific techniques for the production of these antibodies (Abs): (a) So-called "shotgun," non-selective approach; (b) cascade procedure; (c) lymphocyte "panning"; (d) cyclophosphamide elimination of unwanted Ab producers; and finally (e) use of polyclonal antisera to extinguish unwanted antibody production. We discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of these various procedures, and suggest alternative strategies by which specific MAbs might be generated.     

Antibodies to the trypsin cleavage peptide VP8 neutralize rotavirus by inhibiting binding of virions to target cells in culture.

Two distinct patterns of neutralization were identified by comparing the neutralization curves of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed at the two surface proteins, VP4 and VP7, of rhesus rotavirus. VP7-specific MAbs were able to neutralize virus efficiently, and slight increases in antibody concentration resulted in a sharp decline in infectivity. On the other hand, MAbs to VP4 proved much less efficient at neutralizing rhesus rotavirus, and the fraction of infectious virus decreased gradually throughout a wide range of antibody concentrations. MAbs directed at VP8*, the smaller trypsin cleavage fragment of VP4, were shown to efficiently prevent binding of radiolabeled virions to MA104 cell monolayers, to an extent and at concentrations comparable to those required for neutralization of infectivity. Conversely, MAbs recognizing VP7 or the larger VP4 trypsin cleavage product, VP5*, showed little or no inhibitory effect on virus binding to cells. All MAbs studied were able to neutralize rotavirus that was already bound to the surface of cells. The MAbs directed at VP8*, but not those recognizing VP5* or VP7, were shown to mediate release of radiolabeled virus from the surface of the cells. With MAbs directed at VP7, papain digestion of virus-bound antibody molecules led to an almost complete recovery of infectivity. Neutralization could be fully restored by incubation of virus-Fab complexes with anti-mouse immunoglobulin G antiserum. Neutralization with MAbs directed at VP8* proved insensitive to digestion with papain as well as to the addition of anti-immunoglobulin antibodies.     

Polyclonal Antibodies to the Bacterially Expressed Coat Protein of Faba Bean Necrotic Yellows Virus

Specific rabbit polyclonal antibodies against bacterially expressed coat protein of Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV, genus Nanovirus) were produced using a recombinant DNA approach. The FBNYV capsid protein (CP) gene located on component 5 was cloned in an expression vector pQE‐9 (Qiagen, QIAGEN Inc., Chatswortch, CA91311, USA). Expression of the CP with an N‐terminal hexahistidine tag in Escheri‐ chia coli M15 cells was induced by adding isopropyl‐3‐D ‐1‐thiogalactoside (IPTG) to a final concentration of 2 mM . About 8 mg of bacterially expressed CP (BE‐CP) was purified from 1 litre of bacterial liquid culture using a Ni‐NTA resin column (Qiagen). The expressed CP which migrated as a protein of approximately 23 kDa in sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was identified by its strong reaction with polyclonal antibodies produced against FBNYV particles and 2‐5H9 FBNYV‐monoclonal in Western blots. Expressed and purified CP (SDS‐PAGE 23 kDa band) was injected into a white rabbit, using seven intramuscular injections at weekly intervals. The antiserum produced was evaluated for FBNYV detection in double antibody sandwich (DAS)‐enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), triple antibody sandwich (TAS)‐ELISA, tissue blot immunoassay (TBIA), dot blot, Western blot and goat antimouse coating (GAMC)‐ELISA using 13 different FBNYV monoclonal antibodies. The antiserum raised against the BE‐CP gave strong FBNYV‐specific TBIA reactions and very weak background reactions with non‐infected tissue, similar to those produced by monoclonal antibodies. Furthermore, BE‐CP polyclonal antibody reacted weakly with FBNYV‐infected tissue and strongly with BE‐CP in DAS‐ELISA, but not with FBNYV‐infected tissue in TAS‐ELISA when 13 detecting monoclonal antibodies were used. In addition, BE‐CP polyclonal antibody reacted strongly with BE‐CP in TAS‐ELISA only when 2‐5H9 detecting monoclonal was used. When monoclonals were used as primary antibody and BE‐CP polyclonal as detecting antibody (GAMC‐ELISA), FBNYV‐infected tissue gave moderate reactions with 2‐5H9 and strong reactions with 3‐2E9 monoclonal, whereas BE‐CP gave equally strong reactions with both monoclonals. These results showed that the BE‐CP polyclonal antibody is useful for the detection of FBNYV in infected tissue by TBIA and dot blot tests.     

A rapid, simple immunofluorometric assay: development and characterization

A novel two-site immunofluorometric assay, which includes only one incubation step and one separation step, is described. The assay is based on using small-sized beads (0.5 mum diameter) as a soild support and measuring the unbound fraction of labeled antibody in the liquid. The use of a mixture of the solid-phase and labeled antibodies at different concentrations makes it possible to determine antigen concentration over a wide range, without an initial sample dilution. Two assays were developed: one using anti-IgG polyclonal antibodies and the other using antibovine serum albumin monoclonal antibodies. The detection range of the polyclonal antibody assay using 30-minute incubation was 0.2 to 40 mug/mL for human IgG standard. The detection range of the monoclonal antibody assay was 0.2 to 14 mug/mL for bovine serum albumin (BSA) standard with 2 minutes required for the incubation. The interassay variability for the BSA measurement was 1.9% at 4.0 mug/mL of BSA and intra-assay variability was 2.3% at 3.2 mug/mL of BSA. The principles of this assay can be applied in the measurement of any protein in a rapid and reproducible way. (c) 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
