This invention discloses an epitopepeptide of the key SRCR5 domain of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) CD163, an epitopepeptide vaccine, and its applications. The epitope vaccine of this invention exhibits good safety, without safety issues such as virulence reversion, viremia, or recombination with other PRRSV strains. It also demonstrates good immunogenicity; 14 days after secondary immunization, it can induce pigs to produce specific antibodies against the CD163 SRCR5-FP14 epitope with a maximum agglutinationtiter of 1:16. Immunized pigs can resist challenge from the highly pathogenic PRRSV JAX1 strain. Since all PRRSV subtypes rely on interaction with the CD163 receptor to infect susceptible host cells, and the CD163 molecule is conserved, the epitope vaccine blocking PRRSV infection also provides broad-spectrum protection against multiple subtypes without affecting pig production performance. This novel epitope vaccine has broad potential applications in PRRS prevention and control.
This invention relates to the field of biotechnology and provides an antigenic epitope of the parainfluenza virus type 5 F protein, a monoclonalantibody, and its applications. 135 AAILNLKNAIQKTNAAVADVVQA 157 Furthermore, a monoclonalantibody that specifically recognizes this antigenic epitope is provided. The amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region of the monoclonalantibody is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region is shown in SEQ ID NO.2. The discovery of this epitope provides a new target for the development of PIV5 diagnostic reagents. Peptide antigens can be designed and synthesized based on this epitope to develop highly specific ELISA diagnostic kits. Simultaneously, this epitope can be used as a candidate epitope for the design of multi-epitope vaccines, providing a new strategy for the prevention and control of PIV5.
