| Abstract | Background Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is considered to be an important emerging pathogen associated with a number of different syndromes and diseases in pigs known as PCV2-associated diseases. It has been responsible for significant mortality among pigs and remains a serious economic problem to the swine industry worldwide leading to significant negative impacts on profitability of pork production. Results In this study we have demonstrated that PCV2 capsid (Cap) protein based virus-like particles (VLPs) were efficiently produced in yeast S. cerevisiae and induced production of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) reactive with virus-infected cells. Moreover, PCV2 Cap VLPs served as a highly specific recombinant antigen for the development of an indirect IgG PCV2 Cap VLP-based ELISA for the detection of virus-specific IgG antibodies in swine sera. Four hundred-nine serum samples collected from pigs in Lithuania were tested for PCV2-specific IgG to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the newly developed ELISA in parallel using a commercial SERELISA test as a gold standard. From 409 tested serum samples, 297 samples were positive by both assays. Thirty-nine sera from 112 serum samples were determined as negative by SERELISA but were found to be positive both in the newly developed indirect IgG PCV2 Cap VLP-based ELISA and the PCR test. Conclusions We have demonstrated that S. cerevisiae expression system is an alternative to insect/baculovirus expression system for production of homogenous in size and shape PCV2 Cap protein-based VLPs similar to native virions. Yeast expression system tolerated native virus genes encoding PCV2 Cap protein variants as well as the codon-optimized gene. Moreover, yeast-derived PCV2 Cap VLPs were capable to induce the generation of PCV2-specific MAbs that did not show any cross-reactivity with PCV1-infected cells. The high sensitivity and specificity of the indirect IgG PCV2 Cap VLP-based ELISA clearly suggested that this assay is potentially useful diagnostic tool for screening PCV2–suspected samples. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
