Immunoblot analysis of the serological response in hantavirus infections

Abstract: Sera from patients with nephropathia epidemica (NE) or Korean hemorrhagic fever (KHF) were tested for specific antibody response to antigens of Hällnäs virus and Hantaan virus strain 76-118. A Vero E6 derived cell line persistently infected with Hällnäs virus strain B1, and Vero E6 cells freshly infected with Hantaan virus type strain 76-118 were used as antigens in the immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and the immunoblot. Blots were prepared from whole cell lysates. The convalescent-phase sera of NE patients tes… Show more

“…The truncated NPs displayed more antigenic specificity than did the complete NPs when reacted with the same antisera. The truncated antigens could be used to differentiate anti-HTN and anti-SEO clearly from anti-PUU antibodies, without one-way cross-reactivity, as found in previous studies Sheshberadaran et al, 1988;Zoller et al, 1989;Gott et al, 1991). This result was expected, because the number of identical amino acids in the truncated compared to the complete NP was reduced from greater than 60 % to approximately 30%.…”

“…The N protein is an excellent antigenic target, initiating a rapid and strong immune response at an early stage of infection [129,168]. Therefore, definition of the linear epitope determinants on this protein could provide a sensitive tool for diagnosis and investigation of hantavirus pathogenesis.…”

“…After onset of the acute phase IgM as well as IgG antibodies can be detected that react with hantaviral N protein, which represents the major target antigen. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Antibodies against Gc and Gn appear later during the progress of disease. 36 It remains still enigmatic why hantaviral N protein is the dominant antigen.…”
