Summary:
Researchers at Iowa State University have developed an ELISA assay for the detection of Porcine Delta Coronavirus based on the use of a recombinant S1 viral protein.

Development Stage:
Description:
Porcine Delta Coronavirus (PDCoV) was first diagnosed in North America in early 2014 where it was associated with enteric disease in pigs. While assays detecting nucleic acids of the virus were implemented quickly, assays to detect anti-PDCoV antibodies lagged far behind. Iowa State Researchers led the development of an indirect PDCoV anti-IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the putative S1 portion of the spike protein. The assay has been validated and was utilized to determine the prevalence of PDCoV in U.S. pigs. The diagnostic sensitivity of the PDCoV ELISA was 91% with a diagnostic specificity of 95%. ISURF is making the materials available under a non-exclusive license.

Advantage:
• S1 protein has been used to validate PDCoV detection
• Detects IgG antibodies
• S1 polypeptide antigen highly conserved for broad detection

Application:
Veterinary Diagnostics
