The invention belongs to the technical field of veterinary diagnosis, and particularly relates to a novel duck reovirus
agar diffusion antigen as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: inoculating a novel duck reovirus GX2022 strain to an SPF (
specific pathogen free)
duck embryo at the age of 6-10 days, harvesting and inoculating a diseased
duck embryo body within 24-144 hours, adding sterile normal
saline, fully
grinding, freezing and thawing (freezing at the temperature of-20 DEG C and thawing at the temperature of 25 DEG C), carrying out
solid-liquid separation, collecting supernate, adding
formaldehyde for inactivation, uniformly mixing the inactivated
virus liquid with a freeze-
drying protective additive, and freeze-
drying to obtain the
agar diffusion antigen. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the
agar diffusion titer is as high as 1: 24, the specificity is strong, the stability is good, the
titer is high, the yield is high, the reaction
precipitation line is clear, the detection is convenient, the method can be used for evaluating the immune effect of the NDRV and diagnosing the infection of the NDRV, can also be used for screening NDRV
antibody negative ducks, detecting exogenous
virus antibodies of
waterfowl live vaccines or
virus seeds, performing epidemiological investigation and the like, and has a wide application prospect.
