Objective. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the use of recombinant protein EDIII-TBEV and chicken IgY antibodies in the development of a diagnostic kit for detecting IgG to the tick-borne encephalitis virus by dot analysis.
Materials and methods. Probes based on colloidal gold and secondary immunoreagents (Au-SpA, Au-SpG, Au-IgG-a/Hum and Au-IgY-a/Hum) were manufactured and studied in a dot analysis of human immunoglobulins of A, M and G classes. Experimental kits for dot-immunoassay of IgG to TBEV were created based on the probes and EDIII-TBEV.
Results. Experimental assessment of the characteristics of the kits using panels of blood serum samples containing and not containing IgG to TBEV, as well as panels of samples containing antibodies to pathogens of other flavivirus infections (dengue fever and yellow fever) showed 100% sensitivity and specificity of the dot analysis, which indicates the high selectivity of the recombinant EDIII-TBEV antigen. Probes based on polyclonal IgY-a/Hum are not inferior in sensitivity and provide a 10-20% more intense optical signal compared to probes based on mouse monoclonal IgG-a/Hum.
Conclusion. Probes based on IgY-a/Hum and recombinant EDIII-TBEV antigen can be considered as promising reagents for antibody analysis, in particular, for dot analysis on flat substrates. Kits created on their basis can be used to diagnose tick-borne encephalitis in remote areas with poorly developed laboratory infrastructure.
