abstract

An anti-West Nile virus (anti-WNV) monoclonal antibody, SHW-7A11, was developed for competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (c-ELISAs). SHW-7A11 reacted with nonstructural protein 1 in Western blot analysis. SHW-7A11 was relatively specific for the WNV strain NY99 and recognized Kunjin and Eg101 strains in indirect ELISAs. Two c-ELISAs were developed for sera diluted 10 and 100 times and named c-ELISA10 and c-ELISA100, respectively. Both c-ELISAs detected antibodies against WNV NY99 and Kunjin strains. Little cross-reactivity was observed for antibodies against Japanese encephalitis virus and St. Louis encephalitis virus in these assays. using the cutoff point for the St. Louis encephalitis virus, all WNV-infected chickens were found to be positive on day 21 after infection in both c-ELISAs. On the other hand, all infected chickens were found to be positive on day 35 after infection in a virus neutralization test. Our Newly developed SHW-7A11-based c-ELISA can detect WNV infection with sera diluted 10 to 100 times. Therefore, this c-ELISA can be used for WNV serosurveillance of chickens and wild birds.
