This invention relates to a
colloidal gold test strip for detecting sheep
pox virus antibodies, its preparation method, and its application. First, this invention prepares recombinant 122
protein, which exhibits significant
antigenicity and
immunogenicity, making it a good target for diagnosing sheep
pox virus. Second, this invention prepares a
colloidal gold test strip for detecting sheep
pox virus antibodies. The test strip has a PVC base plate with a sample pad, a gold-labeled pad, a
nitrocellulose membrane, and an absorbent pad arranged sequentially. The gold-labeled pad is coated with gold-labeled recombinant 122
protein. The test strip of this invention can simultaneously detect antibodies against sheep pox
virus, bovine nodular dermatosis
virus, and goat pox
virus, with sensitivities of 1:128, 1:128, and 1:64, respectively. It shows no cross-reactivity with bovine
viral diarrhea virus, foot-and-mouth
disease virus type O, foot-and-mouth
disease virus type A, sheep
stomatitis virus,
brucellosis, and
Escherichia coli, exhibiting good specificity and a diagnostic concordance rate of 93%.
