In recent years,ASFV mutant strains with deletion of EP402R gene(encoding CD2v protein)appeared all over the world,which required a tool to distinguish them from the wild ones. For the EP402R gene sequence of WUHAN 2019-1 strain,a domestic isolate of ASFV,its hydrophily was analyzed using bioinformatics to select the segments with high solubility(232~333 aa),which were optimized and artificially synthesized according to the codon bias of Escherichia coli. The soluble CD2v intracellular recombinant protein with HIS tag,about 15 ku and named as pET-28a-CD2v-IS,was obtained through inserting the prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a to express it at a low temperature. Based on the results by Western-blot,it was found that the recombinant protein was with good antigenicity. An indirect ELISA was established by using the purified CD2v recombinant protein. After optimizing the reaction conditions,the optimal coating concentration was determined as 0.5 μg/mL with the sealing time of one hour. The optimal dilution concentration of samples was 1:10 with the optimal incubation time of one hour,the optimal dilution concentration of secondary antibody was 1:20 000 with the optimal incubation time of 45 min. The optimal incubation time of substrate was 5 min;the S/N critical value of the established indirect ELISA was 1.61. The test sensitivity could reach 1:1 280;the intra-assay coefficient of variation(CV)was less than 4.15%,while the inter-assay one was less than 9.48%;the established method only reacted with the positive sera of ASFV whole virus,but failed with the positive sera of ASFV(CD2v)deletion strain,classical swine fever virus(CSFV),porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV)and other viruses;and its coincidence rates with commercial kits were 100% and 90.7%,respectively,when 46 sera with clear background and 56 with unknown background were tested. In conclusion,the method established in the study was with good specificity,sensitivity and repeatability,and its results were consistent with those by commercial kits and the indirect ELISA proposed by WOAH,ASFV wild virus could be distinguished from CD2v detection strain with the help of ELISA kits made of other ASFV structural proteins.
