pubmed:abstractText
A plasmid has been constructed containing the DNA sequences that direct the expression of the aphthovirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (virus infection-associated antigen, VIAA) in its native form. The aphthovirus polypeptide was designed to contain only a single additional amino acid, the N-terminal methionine. The recombinant protein has been purified and used in enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blots to detect aphthovirus-specific antibodies in the sera of persistently infected animals. Furthermore, studies were carried out to test the hypothesis that antibodies against other nonstructural antigens appear in the sera of these animals. It was established that antibodies against polypeptides 3A and 3B can serve as complementary markers for late aphthovirus-carrier state detection. The considerable potential of this approach to detect aphthovirus-specific antibodies, when the isolation of infectious virus is not possible, was demonstrated. Negative results were obtained in animals from virus-free areas and in vaccinated cattle. This assay has the added advantage that no infectious or noninfectious virus is involved during antigen production.
