HA-HI Test for Four Strains of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus
In order to observe the hemagglutination(HA)of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PDEV)and to lay a foundation for development of HA-HI test for PEDV and evaluation of the antibody level,four strains of PEDV,including CV777,DR13,YN13 and YN144,were treated with trypsin of 0,5,10,50 and 100 μg/mL respectively for 30 minutes at 37 ℃,followed by HA test by use of red blood cells(RBC)of chicken,rabbit and pig respectively;then hemagglutination inhibition(HI)test was carried out with serum and whey that had been identified to be PEDV-positive. The results showed that four strains of PEDV only agglutinated with rabbit RBC. After CV777 and DR13 strain were pretreated with 5 μg/mL trypsin,the HA phenomenon occurred,while no trypsin was needed for YN13 andYN144 strain. In addition,HA could be specifically inhibited by antibody against PEDV. In conclusion,rabbit RBC rather than chicken and swine RBC could be agglutinated by PEDV,therefore,the HA-HI test for PEDV could be developed by use of rabbit RBC.
