A Novel Blocking Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Based on a Biotinylated Nanobody for the Rapid and Sensitive Clinical Detection of Classical Swine Fever Virus Antibodies.

ABSTRACT: Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are mostly used for the development of traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), but the use of certain conventional antibodies may be limited by their low yield, the difficulty of their isolation, and their high cost. Heavy-chain antibodies derived from camelids with naturally missing light chains can overcome these deficiencies and are an excellent alternative to conventional antibodies. In this study, a nanobody (Nb)-AviTag fusion protein was constructed, and the feasibility of its use as a high-sensitivity probe in a blocking ELISA (bELISA) for classical swine fever virus (CSFV) was investigated. The CSFV E2 recombinant protein expressed by the CHO expression system exhibited good reactogenicity and immunogenicity and induced the prod
