| Abstract: | Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) has been recently associated with a number of disease syndromes, especially postweaning multisystemic wasting disease (PMWS). Herein, an alternative indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of PCV2 antibody was developed using nuclear localization signal-truncated capsid protein of PCV2 produced in Escherichia coli (CAP ELISA). This assay was validated by comparison with an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIF) and a PCV2-based ELISA. The diagnostic sensitivity (DSN), specificity (DSP) and accuracy of the CAP ELISA were 95.3%, 93.9% and 95.1%, compared with IIF on 1080 field serum samples, and 93.3%, 84.2% and 91.1%, compared with the PCV2-based ELISA on 79 field sera, respectively. Cross-reactivity assay showed that this assay was PCV2-specific. Repeatability tests revealed that the coefficients of variation of positive sera within and between runs were less than 15%. This ELISA is simpler to produce and perform, time-saving and suitable for large scale surveys of PCV2 infection at low cost and the evaluation of the efficiency of various vaccines against PCV2. |
