Benefits of technology

Enables simple, rapid, and accurate diagnosis of FMDV infection, distinguishing between infected and vaccinated animals, and identifying asymptomatic carriers, with high sensitivity and specificity.

Problems solved by technology

All species of cloven-hoofed animals (cattle, pigs, sheep and goats) are susceptible and the disease is extremely contagious.
Financial losses as a result of FMD can be significant.
There are direct losses due to deaths in young animals, loss of milk, loss of meat and a decrease in productive performance.
The costs associated with eradication or control can be high and, in addition, there are indirect losses due to the imposition of trade restrictions.
The principal signs are pyrexia followed by vesicle formation in the mouth and feet resulting in salivation and lameness.
Diagnosis of FMD by clinical signs may be difficult, especially for sheep and goats, in which clinical signs are often mild (Barnett, P. V et al., 1999 and Callens, M., K. et al., 1998).
Furthermore, several other vesicular virus infections, including those caused by swine vesicular disease (SVD) virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, and others, cannot be distinguished from FMDV infection by the clinical findings.
But this method requires equipments for PCR and electricity, which make it impractical in field assay, and if inhibitory substances to PCR reaction are present in some samples, some samples that contain virus or viral genome will not give a positive result by PCR.

[0072] Preparation of Recombinant FMDV VP1 Antigen

[0073] A. Construction of FMDV VP1 Expression Vectors

[0074] (i) Construction of Synthetic VP1 Gene

[0075] VP1 protein of Foot and Mouth Disease virus Taiwan Type O 97 sequence was retrieved from NCBI GenBank data and oligonucleotides for syntheictc gene were synthesized at ResGen (Huntsville, Ala.). In the synthetic oligonucleotides, the native FMDV codons were altered to conform to E. coli codon bias in an effort to increase expression levels of the recombinant protein in E. coli. See, for example, M. Gouy and C. Gautier, Nucleic Acids Research 10:7055 (1982); H. Grosjean and W. Fiers, Gene 18:199 (1982); J. Watson et al. (eds.), Molecular Biology of the Gene, 4th Ed., Benjamin Kumming Publishing Co., pp. 440 (1987). The recursive PCR method was used to assemble the oligonucleotides into full VP1 gene. The gene construction strategy involved synthesis of a series of overlapping oligonucleotides with complementary ends. When anneal...

[0093] Preparation of Recombinant FMDV 2C Antigen

[0094] A. Construction of FMDV 2C Expression Vector

[0095] The genome sequence of FMDV 2C protein was retrieved from NCBI GenBank data (GI: 5921457, O strain Chu-Pei) and oligonucleotides for the synthesis of whole 2C gene and sequencing were synthesized at ResGen (Huntsville, Ala.). The coding DNA sequence is 954 nucleotides long, which encodes 318 amino acids (SEQ ID NO: 119).

[0096] (i) Construction of Synthetic Full-Length 2C Gene

[0097] To obtain the 2C gene of FMD virus, 24 oligonucleotide primers were synthesized, each with complementary ends, at Resgen.

[0098] We used the recursive PCR method to assemble the oligonucleotides into full 2C gene. The gene construction strategy involved synthesis of a series of overlapping oligonucleotides with complementary ends. When annealed, the ends served as primers for the extension of the complementary strand. The fragments then were amplified by excessive outside primers. Because of the ...

The coding DNA sequence is 1281 nucleotides long, which encodes 427 amino acids (SEQ ID NO: 120).

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for diagnosing foot-and-mouth disease virus infection, comprising the steps of applying a predetermined amount of a test sample to a loading region of a strip; coupling a detection reagent including a given labeling reagent to an analyte of interest in the test sample to form a complex therebetween; developing the complex onto a wicking membrane; and observing changes in appearance of a reactivity zone having at least more than one immobilized phase selected from antigen, antibody or hapten on the predetermined region of the wicking membrane, derived from FMDV or obtainable from FMDV through an immunological reaction to determine the presence or absence of foot-and-mouth disease virus infection. It also provides a kit for diagnosing foot-and-mouth disease virus infection comprising a strip 1 including a reactivity zone 13 containing at least more than one immobilized phase selected from antigen, antibody or hapten thereon, derived from FMDV or obtainable from FMDV through an immunological reaction, and a control zone 14 for confining normal operation of the kit, provided on a predetermined region of a wicking membrane 9; and a housing 20 protecting the strip 1 from a variety of contaminants, and including at least a test sample application port 2 and an indicia window 4 for observing results of reaction in the reactivity zone 13 and the control zone 14 on the strip.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a method and kit for diagnosing an infection of the subject with foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), and more particularly, a method and kit for rapidly detecting infection of the subjects with FMDV by observing a change in appearance of a reactivity zone containing at least more than one immobilized phase selected from antigens, antibodies or haptens derived from FMDV, or obtainable from FMDV via an immunological reaction, which is immunologically reactive with the test sample from animals as a target. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a devastating disease of livestock and an Office International des Epizooties list A disease. All species of cloven-hoofed animals (cattle, pigs, sheep and goats) are susceptible and the disease is extremely contagious. Financial losses as a result of FMD can be significant.
