abstract

serological methods are commonly used methods for detection of viruses. preparation of pure viral antigens is a crucial step in production of antibodies required for serological studies. in this research the gene encoding coat protein of a beet western yellows virus (bwyv) isolate from iran was amplified by pcr and was ligated into a bacterial expression vector (pet26b) to obtain pet-bwyv-cp clone. escherichia coli bl21 was transformed with pet-bwyv-cp and expression of the recombinant coat protein was induced by iptg. the expressed recombinant coat proteins were purified and used as an antigen for rabbit immunization. the antiserum was able to detect recombinant coat protein in total protein extracts of induced e. coli bl21 cells in western blot analysis.

Production and Partial Purification of the Grapevine Fanleaf Virus Coat Protein 42 Polyclonal Antibody Against Inclusion Body Expressed in Escherichia coli

Background: Expression of virus coat protein (CP) in Escherichia coli often leads to production of partially folded aggregated proteins which are called inclusion bodies. Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) is one of the most serious and widespread grapevine virus diseases around the world and in Iran.Objective: The main objective of this study was to find a s...

Production of polyclonal antibodies against Pelargonium zonate spot virus coat protein expressed in Escherichia coli and application for immunodiagnosis.

Pelargonium zonate spot virus (PZSV) is identified recently in tomato plants in the United States. To develop serological diagnostic tools for the detection of this virus, the production of good quality antibodies is a necessity. The coat protein (CP) gene of a California isolate of PZSV was cloned into a bacterial expression vector (pTriEX-4 Ek/LIC). The plasmid pTriEX-4-PZSV-CP was transforme...

Production of Polyclonal Antibody against Grapevine fanleaf virus Movement Protein Expressed in Escherichia coli

The genomic region of Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) encoding the movement protein (MP) was cloned into pET21a and transformed into Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) to express the protein. Induction was made with a wide range of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) concentrations (1, 1.5, and 2 mM) each for duration of 4, 6, or 16 h. However, the highest expression level was achieved wi...

comparison of the coat protein gene sequence of iranian canola- infecting beet western yellows virus isolates

beet western yellows virus (bwyv), a species of the genus polerovirus in the family luteoviridae, is an agriculturally important virus infecting over 150 plant species in 23 dicotyledonous families worldwide. a survey of bwyv in canola fields in golestan and tehran provinces of iran using indirect triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (tas-elisa) indicated 8.3 % infection. ...

Polyclonal antibodies to the putative coat protein of Citrus leprosis virus C expressed in Escherichia coli: Production and use in immunodiagnosis

This work reports the in vitro expression of Citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C) putative coat protein (p29) and the production of a polyclonal antibody to be used as a tool for serological diagnosis of citrus leprosis. The ORF2/RNA1, corresponding to p29, was cloned in pET28a and transformed into Escherichia coli cells (BL21). Expression of p29 was induced in vitro and the protein was purified an...
