Bioinformatics Predicted Linear Epitopes of the Major Coat Protein of the Beet Yellows Virus for Detection of the Virus in the Cell Extract of the Infected Plant
Abstract:Beet yellows virus, which belongs to the genus Closterovirus, family Closteroviridae and has a significant negative economic impact, has proven to be challenging to detect and diagnose. To obtain antibodies against BYV, we propose an easier bioinformatics approach than the isolation and purification of the wild virus as an antigen. We used the SWISS-MODEL Workspace (Biozentrum Basel) protein 3D prediction program to discover epitopes of major coat protein p22 lying on the surface of the BYV capsid. Sequences c… Show more
