Identification of an immunorelevant ORF2 epitope from porcine circovirus type 2 as a serological marker for experimental and natural infection.
description:
This epitope sequence is from the reference cited: Mahe et al. (2000) J Gen Virol 81: 1815-1824 [PMID: 10859388]. An internal source ID is assigned, because the sequence provided in the reference differs from those found by BLAST at position 1 (Ser to Phe substitution).
Sera from PCV2-immunized specific pathogen-free piglets or conventional farm piglets reacted with the epitope in a pepscan analysis of overlapping peptides. Reactivity with the epitope by ELISA increased 9-fold in the SPF piglets and >10-fold in the farm piglets 6 weeks post-inoculation compared to the pre-immune serum. The ratio of reactivity with the epitope versus the analogous peptide from PCV1 was 0.3 in the both piglet groups, indicating the epitope is not PCV2 discriminant.
