    Abstract In the absence of a vaccine for African swine fever virus (ASFV), diagnostic tools are critical for early detection and implementation of control measures. Along with other immunogenic proteins, p54 is a good serological target for conducting ASF detection and surveillance. In this study, a panel of 12 mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) was prepared against a baculovirus-expressed p54(60-178) polypeptide. Further screening showed that five mAbs were positive for reactivity against ASFV-infected cells and recombinant p54 proteins. Mapping studies using five polypeptides and 12 oligopeptides, showed that mAb #154-1 recognized a conserved polypeptide sequence, p54(65-75), and was placed into Group 1. Mabs #143-1 and #7 recognized a region covered by p54(93-113) and were placed into Group 2. Group 3 consisted of mAbs #101 and #117, which recognized p54(118-127). Sera from pigs infected with the low virulent OURT 88/3 strain recognized the same p54 region covered by the Group 3 mAbs. When tested in a neutralization format, only mAb #143-1 showed neutralization activity above background. Together, the results identify important antigenic and immunogenic regions located on p54, which provide new tools for improving ASFV diagnostics.

    Abstract African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most complex and lethally haemorrhagic viral diseases of swine, affecting all breeds and ages of pigs. In the absence of ASF vaccines, reliable laboratory diagnosis and restricted biosecurity are critical for disease prevention and control. A detection of ASF-specific antibodies in an unvaccinated pig is a good marker for the diagnosis of ASF. The immunoperoxidase test (IPT) is a sensitive test for detecting ASF virus (ASFV) antibodies. However, due to the complexity of the procedure, the IPT is only suitable to be used as a confirmatory test. The ASFV p30 protein-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is widely used for ASFV antibody screening, but the sensitivity is not comparable to the IPT. It is essential to have a better understanding of the antigenic properties of ASFV p30 to improve p30-based serologic tests. In this study, we developed a panel of 21 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against ASFV p30. With 14 out of the 21 mAbs, we defined 4 antigenic regions that contain at least 4 linear epitopes. Nine of the 14 mAbs mapped to antigenic regions 3 and 4 reacted with p30 in all serologic methods tested in this study, such as indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), ELISA and Western blot. The antigenic regions 3 and 4 are highly conserved and immunodominant in host antibody response. These mAbs and the defined p30 antigenic regions 3 and 4 provide valuable tools for the development and improvement of ASF serologic assays.

    Abstract Protein p72 is the major capsid protein of African swine fever virus (ASFV) and is an important target for test and vaccine development. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were prepared against a recombinant antigenic fragment, from amino acid (aa) 20-303, expressed in baculovirus. A total of 29 mAbs were recovered and tested by immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) staining on ASFV Lisbon-infected Vero cells. Six antibodies were IFA-positive and selected for further characterization. Epitope mapping was performed against overlapping polypeptides expressed in E. coli and oligopeptides. Based on oligopeptide recognition, the mAbs were divided into 4 groups: mAb 85 (aa 165-171); mAbs 65-3 and 6H9-1 (aa 265-280); mAbs 8F7-3 and 23 (aa 280-294); and mAb 4A4 (aa 290-303). All mAbs were located within a highly conserved region in p72. This panel of antibodies provides the opportunity to develop new assays for the detection of ASFV antibody and antigen.
