RESUMO

African swine fever (ASF), caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), is now widespread in many countries and severely affects the commercial rearing of swine. Rapid and early diagnosis is crucial for the prevention of ASF. ASFV mature virions comprise the inner envelope protein, p22, making it an excellent candidate for the serological diagnosis and surveillance of ASF. In this study, the prokaryotic-expressed p22 recombinant protein was prepared and purified for immunization in mice. Four monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were identified using hybridoma cell fusion, clone purification, and immunological assays. The epitopes of mAbs 14G1 and 22D8 were further defined by alanine-scanning mutagenesis. Our results showed that amino acids C39, K40, V41, D42, C45, G48, E49, and C51 directly bound to 14G1, while the key amino acid epitope for 22D8 included K161, Y162, G163, D165, H166, I167, and I168. Homologous and structural analysis revealed that these sites were highly conserved across Asian and European ASFV strains, and the amino acids identified were located on the surface of p22. Thus, our study contributes to a better understanding of the antigenicity of the ASFV p22 protein, and the results could facilitate the prevention and control of ASF.
