Identification of a New Antigen Epitope in the Nuclear Localization Signal Region of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Capsid Protein
5 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the causative agent of postweaning multisystemic syndrome in pigs. The capsid (Cap) protein encoded by ORF2 is the main structural protein involved in the host immune protective response to PCV2. It is therefore important to map the antigenic epitopes of the PCV2 Cap protein. METHODS: In this study, 5 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the recombinant PCV2 Cap...
