Abstract:
Objective To develop and verify an indirect ELISA method for determination of specific IgG antibody of rhesus monkey serum against SARS-CoV-2 variant strain. Methods An indirect ELISA method for the determination of specific IgG antibody was developed using inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant strain inactivated vaccine as coating antigen,and optimized for the coating antigen concentration(1,2 and 4 μg/mL),dilution of serum(1∶800～1∶12 800),blocking solution(PBST containing 1% BSA,2% BSA,1% skim milk,2% skim milk and 1% BSA + 1% skim milk),blocking time(30,60 and 90 min),dilution of secondary antibody(1∶5 000,1∶10 000,1∶15 000 and 1∶20 000),incubation time of serum and secondary antibody(30,60 and 90 min),and TMB reaction time(5,10,15,20,25 and 30 min). 60 negative serum samples of rhesus monkeys were detected by the developed method,and the negative and positive critical values were determined. The sensitivity and precision of the methodology were verified. In addition,the specific IgG antibody and neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant strain in 44 serum samples of rhesus monkey were detected by the developed method and microneutralization method,and the correlation and consistency between the two methods were compared. Results The optimum detection conditions were determined:the coating antigen concentration was 1 μg/mL;the blocking solution was PBST containing 1% skim milk,and the blocking time was 30 min;the serum samples to be tested were diluted to 1∶1 600 and incubated for 90 min,and the secondary antibody was diluted to 1∶10 000 and incubated for 30 min;the color development time of substrate was 25 min. The positive critical value and negative critical value of the method was 0. 093 and 0. 084 respectively,and the detection values between them were judged as suspicious. The dilution of5 positive serum samples that showed positive results was 1∶51 200;the coefficients of variation(CVs)of precision were all less than 15%. There was a strong correlation between IgG antibody titer and neutralizing antibody level in the 44 rhesus monkey serum samples(r = 0. 858 0,P < 0. 000 1);the total coincidence rate of the two methods was 90. 9%,the positive coincidence rate was 93. 6%,and the negative coincidence rate was 84. 6%;the consistency test Kappa value was 0. 783 8(95% CI:0. 586 5～0. 981 0). Conclusion The developed indirect ELISA method for eletermination of specific IgG antibody against SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant strain in rhesus monkey serum has good sensitivity and precision,and has strong consistency with microneutralization method,which can be used for the determination of IgG antibody in rhesus monkey serum.
