ABSTRACT
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) causes acute diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration and high mortality in neonatal piglets. The nucleocapsid (N) protein of PEDV is a highly conserved protein with strong immunogenicity and palys an important role in PEDV diagnosis. However, epitopes on the PEDV N protein have not yet been well characterized. Here, 32 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the PEDV N protein were produced and identified. Six new epitopes were first identified by using a high-throughput epitope mapping method named AbMap. Sequence analysis revealed that among the six epitopes five epitopes were highly conserved among different PEDV strains. We also confirmed that the mAbs derived from the six epitopes of PEDV N protein, have no cross-reactivity with transmissible gastro enteritis virus or porcine delta coronavirus. These mAbs and their defined epitopes will help to understand the N protein structure and immunological characteristics, and to develop a rapid, accurate PEDV diagnosis method.
