Abstract

Classical swine fever can be controlled effectively by vaccination with C-strain vaccine. In this study, we developed a novel competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) based on a C-strain Erns specific monoclonal antibody (mAb 1504), aiming to serologically measure immune responses to C-strain vaccine in pigs, and finally to make the C-strain become a DIVA-compatible vaccine. The cELISA system was established based on the strategy that mAb 1504 will compete with the C-strain induced antibodies in the pig serum to bind the C-strain Erns protein. The cELISA was optimized and was further evaluated by testing different categories of pig sera. It can efficiently differentiate C-strain immunized from wild-type CSFV-infected pigs and lacks cross-reaction with other common swine viruses and viruses in genus Pestivirus such as Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). The C-strain antibody can be tested in pigs 7–14 days post vaccination with this cELISA. The sensitivity and specificity of the established cELISA were 100% (95% confidence interval: 95.60 to 100%) and 100% (95% confidence interval: 98.30 to 100%), respectively. This novel cELISA is a reliable tool for specifically measuring and differentiating immune responses to C-strain vaccine in pigs. By combining with the wild-type CSFV-specific infection tests, it can make the C-strain have DIVA capability.
