African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly infectious viral pathogen that endangers the global pig industry, and no effective vaccine is available thus far. The CD2v protein is a glycoprotein on the outer envelope of ASFV, which mediates the transmission of the virus in the blood and recognition of the virus serotype, playing an important role in ASFV vaccine development and disease prevention. Here, we generated two specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), 6C11 and 8F12 (subtype IgG1/kappa-type), against the ASFV CD2v extracellular domain (CD2v-ex, GenBank: MK128995.1, 1-588 bp) and characterized their specificity. Peptide scanning technology was used to identify the epitopes recognized by mAbs 6C11 and 8F12. As a result, two novel B cell epitopes, DINGVSWN and GTNTNIY, were defined. Amino acid sequence alignment showed that the defined epitopes were conserved in all referenced ASFV strains from various regions of China including the highly pathogenic, epidemic strain, Georgia2007/1 (NC_044959.2), with the same noted substitutions compared to the four foreign ASFV wild-type strains. This study provides important reference values for the design and development of an ASFV vaccine and useful biological materials for the functional study of the CD2v protein by deletion analysis.
非洲猪瘟病毒(ASFV)是一种高度传染性的病毒病原体,它威胁着全球的养猪业,目前还没有有效的疫苗。CD2v 蛋白是 ASFV 外膜上的一种糖蛋白,它介导病毒在血液中的传播和病毒血清型的识别,在 ASFV 疫苗开发和疾病预防中发挥着重要作用。在这里,我们针对 ASFV CD2v 细胞外结构域(CD2v-ex,GenBank: MK128995.1,1-588bp)生成了两种针对 ASFV CD2v 的特异性单克隆抗体(mAbs)6C11 和 8F12(亚型 IgG1/κ 型),并对其特异性进行了表征。肽扫描技术用于鉴定 mAbs 6C11 和 8F12 识别的表位。结果,定义了两个新的 B 细胞表位,DINGVSWN 和 GTNTNIY。氨基酸序列比对表明,定义的表位在包括高致病性、流行株 Georgia2007/1(NC_044959.2)在内的来自中国不同地区的所有参考 ASFV 毒株中均保守,与四个国外 ASFV 野生型毒株相比,有相同的注意到的取代。这项研究为 ASFV 疫苗的设计和开发提供了重要的参考价值,并为 CD2v 蛋白的缺失分析提供了有用的功能研究生物材料。
