Development of an ELISA Based on the Baculovirus-Expressed Capsid Protein of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 as Antigen
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
The genome of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) contains two major open reading frames, which have been shown to encode the virus capsid and replication-associated proteins. The capsid protein is a major structural protein of the virus; it can be a suitable target antigen for detecting PCV2-specific antibodies to monitor PCV2 infection. To produce the antigen, the capsid protein coding sequence was cloned into a...
