Monoclonal Antibody against Porcine LAG3 Inhibits Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Infection.

ABSTRACT: Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG3) is an inhibitory receptor and the interaction between fibrinogen-like protein 1 and LAG3 can inhibit the anti-tumor effect of T cells both in vivo and in vitro, which was regarded as a new immune evasion mechanism. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), caused by PRRSV, is an infectious disease characterized by reproductive disorders in pregnant sows and gilts and respiratory problems in pigs of all ages, seriously impacting the pig industry worldwide. In this study, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against porcine LAG3 (pLAG3) were developed, and one mAb (1C2) showed good reactivity with pLAG3 on PHA-activated porcine peripheral blood lymphocytes. Epitope mapping showed the epitope recognized by mAb 1C2 was located at amino acid
