Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Schematic of Nb10-Fc expression construct. ( B ) Western blot validation of Nb10-Fc expression. Nb10-Fc’ indicates the non-reducing condition result; Nb10-Fc indicates the reducing condition result. Nb10-Fc was detected under both conditions but showed different migration characteristics. ( C ) Indirect ELISA evaluation of Nb10-Fc binding to immunization VP2 protein (OD450). ( D ) Western blot validation of Nb10-Fc recognition of VP2 in CPV L4-infected cells (MOI = 1). Upper band was observed above the VP2 protein band, which may be caused by post-translational modification of the VP2 protein or incomplete denaturation. GAPDH served as an internal control. ( E ) Immunofluorescence detection of Nb10-Fc recognition in CPV L4-infected cells (MOI = 1). Specific green fluorescence was observed in infected cells; nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). ( F ) Molecular docking model and interface analysis of Nb10-Fc with CPV VP2. ( G ) Visualization of the Nb10-Fc–VP2 complex from different angles. **** p < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: For VP2 detection, membranes were incubated with a mouse anti-CPV VP2 primary antibody (Bioss, Beijing, China, bsm-49051M) followed by HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L) (Beyotime, Shanghai, China, A0216).
