Gene Synthesis> | … Synthetic DNA constructs representing a mutated form of G protein (mG) were purchased (Genscript, Piscataway, NJ, USA). Genbank sequences M11486.1 and AF013254.1 were used to design RSV-A2 and -B1 mG constructs … | Get A Quote |
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe lower respiratory tract disease in infants and the elderly. Although there is no licensed vaccine, RSV-F and -G glycoproteins are targets for vaccine development and therapeutics. We developed an assay that can detect anti-RSV-G IgG antibodies, either as a biomarker of natural exposure or immunization. RSV genes encoding native and mutated G (mG) proteins from subgroups A and B strains were cloned, expressed as luciferase-tagged proteins, and tested individually to detect anti-RSV-G specific IgG antibodies using a high-throughput luciferase immunoprecipitation system (LIPS-G). RSV monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antisera specifically bound in the LIPS... More
