Evaluation of baculovirus-derived recombinant 53-kDa protein of Trichinella spiralis for detection of Trichinella-specific antibodies in domestic pigs by ELISA

Abstract: The complete gene encoding the 53-kDa protein derived from Trichinella spiralis was cloned and expressed using a baculovirus-based system. Characterization of a purified fusion protein consisting of the 53-kDa protein and the glutathione S-transferase protein showed unspecific reactivity with swine pre-immune serum in both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot analysis. Subsequently, a purified C-terminal 6xHis-tagged 53-kDa protein was used in an ELISA. The evaluation of the test using a … Show more

“…is the smallest, but clinically important, nematode parasite that is widespread and a main causative agent of trichinellosis [ 1 , 2 ]. It is commonly observed in carnivorous mammals and omnivores, including pigs, rodents, and humans [ 3 5 ]. Trichinellosis has been reported in about 55 countries worldwide and is very common in developing countries [ 6 , 7 ].…”

“…Gottstein et al (2009) revealed that in swine infected with 100 or 500 T. spiralis ML, the ML specific antibodies were detected from 5-7 weeks post infection (wpi) and 4-5 wpi, respectively. Moreover, several studies have emphasised that E-S ML proteins contain components that can cross-react with sera from persons affected by other diseases including echinococcosis or cysticercosis and thus may not give reliable results in diagnostics (Jung et al 2007, Gottstein et al 2009.…”

“…Thus, ML ES antigens could be used to detect sera in late infection of Trichinella . More importantly, ML ES antigens cross-react with the sera of patients with other types of helminthiasis (10, 11). Therefore, it is necessary to screen sensitive and specific early diagnostic antigens of Trichinella .…”
