title: [Enzyme immunoassay for detection of porcine circovirus type 2, by using the recombinant capsid protein ORF-2].
abstract: Recombinant antigen ORF2 from porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) was produced, by using the baculovirus expression system, with histidine tags to allow purification by metal-chelate affinity chromatography. The purity of the protein was verified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; and its immunospecificity was confirmed by the immunoblotting test using reference PCV-2-positive and PCV-2-negative porcine sera and monoclonal antibodies. The protein was used as an antigen to develop an indirect enzyme immunoassay (EIA) of PCV-2 antibodies. EIA was shown to have a high sensitivity and specificity as compared with indirect immunofluorescence test. Porcine serum samples from 15 pig-breeding farms of the Russian Federation were studied. Seropositive samples were found in all age pig groups in all the farms, The number of seropositive animals was shown to be directly related to its age.
