Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterization and identification of mAbs. (A) Determination of the serum titer of the mice before hyperimmunization by indirect ELISA. (B) Determination of the mAb titers. A P/G value greater than or equal to 2.1 is considered positive, and the corresponding maximum dilution is the titer of serum or mAbs. (C) Four mAbs were identified by IFA. The CD2v recombinant protein gene was linked to a vector containing the EGFP label and was transfected into 293 T cells. A monoclonal antibody was used as the primary antibody, and a goat anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 647 fluorescent antibody was used as the secondary antibody to display red fluorescence. DAPI was used as the nuclear staining fluid. The control group was used as a negative control. (D) Four mAbs were identified with CD2v recombinant protein by a western blot assay. M represents the protein marker, monoclonal antibody 11E2 was incubated in Lane 1, Lane 2 is 7A9, Lane 3 is 4C1 and Lane 4 is 2H10. (E) The reactivity of the mAbs with ASFV HLJ/18 strain. Scale bars, 200 μm. (F) SDS–PAGE analysis of purified monoclonal antibody 11E2. (G) CD2v mAbs evaluation by the blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The African swine fever positive serum was serially diluted for 1:10 ( n = 20).
