Methods Recombinant protein JEV-NS1 was expressed in prokaryotes and purified,with which BALB/c mice and rabbits were immunized to prepare mouse monoclonal and rabbit polyclonal antibodies respectively. An ELISA method for antigen quantification was developed using rabbit polyclonal antibody and HRP-JEns1C1 mouse monoclonal antibody as capture and detection antibodies,and mouse monoclonal antibody JEns1C1 and enzymelabeled rabbit polyclonal antibody as captue and detection antibodies,respectively,in which the antigen concentration for coating and antibody concentration for detection were optimized by matrix titration. The developed ELISA method was determined for linear range and sensitivity,and validated for specificity,accuracy,precision and durability. Results Rabbit polyclonal and mouse monoclonal antibodies against JEV-NS1,with good specificity and high titer,were prepared.An ELISA method for antigen quantification was developed using rabbit polyclonal antibody as capture antibody and HRPJEns1C1 mouse monoclonal antibody as detection antibody,of which the detection range was 250. 0~4 000. 0 ng/mL,with a R~2 value of not less than 0. 99. The recoveries of samples at high(2 000. 0 ng/mL),moderate(1 000. 0 ng/mL)and low(500. 0 ng/mL) concentrations in validation for accuracy were 83. 7%~103. 4%,while the coefficients of variation(CVs)were 5. 8%,3. 8% and 2. 9% in validation for reproducibility,5. 7%,5. 8% and 5. 3% in validation for intermediate precision,and 3. 7%,5. 7% and 5. 3% in validation for durability,respectively. However,the result of validation for specificity showed that only JEV-NS1 antigen was recognized by the method,and no cross-reactions with other viruses were observed. All the validation results met the requirements for quality control of JEV vaccine. Conclusion The developed double antibody sandwich ELISA method for JEV-NS1 antigen quantification shows good specificity,accuracy,precision,linearity and durability,which may be used for antigen determination of samples in purification process,and provides a quality control method for determination of antigen content in the preparation of JEV vaccine.
