This invention belongs to the fields of
biomedicine and
in vitro diagnostics, specifically relating to a
specific antibody against
porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a
nucleic acid molecule, a
plasmid vector combination, and a
eukaryotic cell expression vector. The
amino acid sequence of the
specific antibody of this invention consists of two dominant antigenic epitopes of the PEDV N
protein tandemly. Using E. coli-preferred codons, the
amino acid sequence of this recombinant
protein is converted into the corresponding
nucleotide sequence, thereby increasing the expression level of the recombinant
protein in E. coli. This invention also involves immunizing mice with this recombinant protein, sorting B lymphocytes that specifically bind to the recombinant protein using
flow cytometry, amplifying the heavy and light chain variable regions of the B
lymphocyte antibody using single-
cell PCR, constructing a complete mouse IgG
antibody sequence
recombinant expression vector from the obtained sequence, expressing the
monoclonal antibody by transiently transfecting HEK293F cells, purifying the
monoclonal antibody and labeling it with
colloidal gold particles, and determining the optimal
monoclonal antibody
pairing combination through orthogonal experiments.
