Using gut sections from pigs infected with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (strain CV 777) and ascitic fluid from cats which had succumbed to feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a weak cross reaction was found by immunofluorescence. Its specificity was confirmed when detergent-treated purified CV 777 showed a prominent reaction with FIPV antibodies in ELISA; no reaction was obtained with intact virions, which indicated common determinants on an internal component of the particle. Antigenic cross-reactions at the nucleocapsid level were found in Western blot ELISA performed both ways (CV 777/FIPV antibodies; FIPV/CV 777 antibodies). In immunoprecipitation using [35S]methionine labelled FIPV, anti-CV 777 sera recognized exclusively the nucleocapsid protein. The significance of these findings for the classification of coronaviruses is discussed.
利用感染猪流行性腹泻病毒(CV 777株)的猪的肠道组织切片以及死于猫传染性腹膜炎(FIP)的猫的腹水,通过免疫荧光发现了微弱的交叉反应。当用去污剂处理的纯化CV 777在酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)中与猫传染性腹膜炎病毒(FIPV)抗体呈现显著反应时,其特异性得到了证实;完整病毒粒子未出现反应,这表明在病毒粒子内部成分上存在共同的决定簇。在双向进行的蛋白质印迹ELISA(CV 777/FIPV抗体;FIPV/CV 777抗体)中发现了核衣壳水平的抗原交叉反应。在使用[35S]甲硫氨酸标记的FIPV进行的免疫沉淀中,抗CV 777血清仅识别核衣壳蛋白。本文讨论了这些发现对冠状病毒分类的意义。
