Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a widespread infectious agent in pigs. Nucleocapsid (N) protein of PRRSV has been identified as the most immunodominant viral protein. The main goal of the work was the selection and characterization of a single-chain antibody fragments (scFv) antibody specific to the N protein. Specific scFv antibody clone D5 was selected from the Tomlinson phagemid library and purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography from the periplasmatic space of E. coli cells. The antibody was then characterized by sequencing and the ability to recognize the native virus N protein by Western blot and competitive ELISA. Pepscan analysis identified the position of the binding epitope between amino acids 62–84 of the N protein. Our study could help to improve the diagnostics and prevention of PRRSV in Central Europe.

Abstract Three single chain antibodies (scFv) against the proteins of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) were isolated by phage display from an scFv antibody library. Bio-panning was carried out against immobilized purified envelope (E) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins of SARS-CoV. Their binding activity and specificity to E or N protein of SARS-CoV were characterized by phage-ELISA. Two of them, B10 and C20, could recognize non-overlapping epitopes of the E protein according to the two-site binding test result. Clone A17 could recognize N protein. The sequence of the epitope or overlapping epitope of scFv antibody A17 was PTDSTDNNQNGGRNGARPKQRRPQ. The affinity (equilibrium dissociation constant, Kd) of SARS-CoV E protein was 5.7×10−8 M for B10 and 8.9×10−8 M for C20. The affinity of A17 for N protein was 2.1×10−6 M. All three scFv antibodies were purified with affinity chromatography and determined by Western blot.
