Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is the causative agent of a highly contagious disease in avian species. All strains of NDV belong to avian paramyxovirus serotype-1. The disease is endemic in different parts of the world and vaccination is the only way to protect birds from NDV infection. The virus non-structural phosphoprotein (P) is the second most abundant protein and a major modulator of viral replication. Although P protein shows lesser evolutionary divergence among NDV isolates, it is known to be highly divergent among different avian paramyxovirus serotypes. In the present study, a recombinant P protein based single serum dilution ELISA was developed which showed better sensitivity, specificity and accuracy as compared to conventional methods for NDV detection. The recombinant P protein based ELISA could be an alternative to existing diagnostics against NDV infection in chickens.
新城疫病毒(NDV)是禽类一种高度传染性疾病的病原体。所有NDV毒株都属于禽副粘病毒1型。该病在世界不同地区呈地方性流行,接种疫苗是保护禽类免受NDV感染的唯一方法。病毒非结构磷蛋白(P)是含量第二丰富的蛋白,也是病毒复制的主要调节因子。尽管P蛋白在NDV分离株之间的进化差异较小,但已知在不同禽副粘病毒血清型之间差异很大。在本研究中,开发了一种基于重组P蛋白的单血清稀释ELISA,与传统的NDV检测方法相比,该方法具有更好的敏感性、特异性和准确性。基于重组P蛋白的ELISA可能是现有鸡NDV感染诊断方法的一种替代方法。
