The enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISpot) assay is a technique of unparalleled sensitivity to determine the frequency of antigen-specific immune cells secreting an immunomodulatory mediator upon recall antigen stimulation, making it a valuable tool in vaccine research. Typically done in multi-well microplate format, it also allows a high-throughput analysis of numerous immune cell samples, e.g., from different donor subjects, especially with the help of automated plate readers and specialized software that currently exist in most laboratories. IFN-γ is a hallmark cytokine secreted especially by T-cell subsets in recall response to pathogens, and consequently the IFN-γ ELISpot assay is one of the most widely used. The cellular arm of the immune response is known to be fundamental in protection against virulent ASFV, and therefore this assay is frequently employed in ASFV vaccine research to evaluate the results from immunization experiments.The technique involves the use of plates with wells that have a membrane for base with a strong binding capacity for amino acids that thus can be densely coated with an antibody for IFN-γ. Upon adding cells and specific antigen or other control stimuli, responding cells will release IFN-γ that is captured by the antibody in close proximity and revealed using a second antibody (sandwich method) through either chromogenic or fluorescent methods, leading to the detection of a "spot" on the membrane for each positive cell. Here we detail our protocol to detect the frequency of ASFV antigen-specific IFN-γ-producing cells in immunized pig lymphocytes and give an example of a typical result using the technique.
