ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To develop monoclonal antibodies that can specifically recognize human von Willebrand factor (VWF) propeptide (VWFpp) in plasma, and establish a rapid and reliable method for the detection of VWFpp antigen in plasma by using the double-antibody sandwich ELISA with the obtained anti-VWFpp monoclonal antibody.@*METHODS@#The recombinant human VWFpp (D1 and D2 regions) protein expressed in eukaryotic cells was used as immunogen to immunize BALB/c mice with routine method, so as to obtain clones of fusion cells. After screening and identification, hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies against VWFpp were selected, and then double-antibody sandwich ELISA assay was used to construct VWFpp antigen detection kit for the determination of VWFpp in human plasma. The levels of VWFpp antigen in plasma of 12 leukemia patients who underwent bone marrow transplantation were dynamically detected.@*RESULTS@#Two hybridoma cell lines that can be subcultured continuously and secrete monoclonal antibodies against VWFpp were obtained and named SZ175 and SZ176 respectively. Identified by ELISA and Western blot, the antibodies could both specifically recognize VWFpp but couldn't recognize mature VWF (without propeptide). Based on the principle of double-antibody sandwich ELISA, monoclonal antibodies SZ175 and SZ176 were successfully made into a kit for detecting VWFpp antigen. The plasma VWFpp levels of leukemia patients before and after bone marrow transplantation were dynamically detected. The results showed that the plasma VWFpp levels of the patients after transplantation were significantly higher than those before transplantation.@*CONCLUSION@#Two monoclonal antibodies against VWFpp were successfully prepared, and a double-antibody sandwich ELISA detection kit for VWFpp antigen was constructed, which provides a powerful tool for further study on the biological function of VWFpp, the clinical diagnosis and classification of von Willebrand disease (VWD), and the prognostic monitoring of endothelial injury-related diseases.

ABSTRACT
Clostridium difficile is an important zoonotic intestinal pathogen, which is widely present in humans and a variety of animals. The ST11 type C. difficile is one of the most widespread and harmful subtypes in the world. As a large country in pig farming, China lacks efficient methods for detecting C. difficile of porcine origin, leaving hidden dangers for the prevention and control of C. difficile. The aim of this study was to develop a specific and sensitive double-antibody sandwich ELISA for the epidemiological investigation of ST11 type C. difficile of porcine origin. Firstly, a 97 kDa receptor binding domain (RBD) was expressed in a prokaryotic host and purified. A hybridoma cell line AE2D3 capable of stably secreting monoclonal antibody targeting the RBD was screened, and the antibody subtype was determined to be IgG2b (κ). Secondly, a double antibody sandwich ELISA method was developed, where the monoclonal antibody targeting the RBD was used as a detection antibody, and the rabbit polyclonal antibody was used as a capture antibody. The chessboard method was used to determine the matching concentration of the capture antibody and the detection antibody, the antigen coating conditions, the blocking conditions, the incubation conditions for detection antibody and samples to be tested, as well as the reaction conditions of HRP-conjugated and reaction conditions of TMB chromogenic solution. The negative cutoff OD450 was 0.152, and no cross-reaction with 13 strains of non-ST11 type C. difficile was found. The minimum detection concentration of RBD was 8.83 ng/mL. This specific and sensitive double-antibody sandwich ELISA provides a reliable serological detection method for epidemiological investigation of the ST11 type C. difficile in pig industry.

Objective:To establish a double antibody sandwich ELISA for detecting the specific antigen of Seoul virus (SEOV) L99 strain and to provide a means for antigen detection in the development, production and verification of vaccine against hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).Methods:Monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) aganist L99 virus were induced in mice using four hybridoma cell lines and purified by Protein-A affinity chromatography. The purity, titer and specificity of McAbs were determined by SDS-PAGE, indirect ELISA and Western blot, respectively. Four McAbs were paired with each other and the additivity indices of paired McAbs were analyzed. After labeling McAbs with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), the concentrations of the coated and labeled antibodies were optimized by orthogonal test, and then a double antibody sandwich ELISA for virus antigen detection was established. Type Ⅱ HFRS inactivated vaccine standard was used as a quantitative standard to verify the sensitivity, linearity, specificity, accuracy and precision of the developed method. The applicability of the method was verified by testing three batches of vaccine stock solutions.Results:Four McAbs were at titers of greater than 1∶10 6 and their purity was all greater than 98%. The McAbs secreted by 1D5, 3A4 and 5B7 cells could specifically recognize the nucleocapsid protein of SEOV L99. There was cross-reaction between McAb secreted by 1D5 cells and Hantaan virus PS-6. The McAbs secreted by 3A4 and 1D5 were used as coating and labeling antibodies based on the results of antibody pairs. The working concentrations of the coating antibody and the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled antibody were 20 μg/ml and 1∶4 000, respectively. The minimum detection limit of the established method for the detection of SEOV L99 antigen was 0.078 1 μg/ml, and the linear range was 0.078 1-2.500 0 μg/ml with a R2 value of more than 0.99. There was no cross reaction with other HFRS vaccine. The virus antigen recovery rate was between 95.8% and 108.7%, and the coefficients of variation of precision was less than 10%. Three batches of Type II HFRS inactivated vaccine stocks were detected by this method and the results was dose-dependent. Conclusions:This study successfully established a double antibody sandwich ELISA method for specific detection of SEOV L99 strain antigen in the production of bivalent HFRS vaccines produced from hamster kidney cells.
