Isolation of single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies for detection of Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus (CpCDV) by phage display
Archives of Virology 165 (12), 2789-2798
Abstract: Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus (CpCDV, genus Mastrevirus), has a wide host range and geographic distribution in many parts of the world, and it is one of the most important legume-infecting viruses. Detection of CpCDV-infected plants in the field and evaluation of viral resistance of plant cultivars are possible by conducting serological assays. Here, development and characterization of a specific recombinant monoclonal antibody for CpCDV as a diagnostic tool are described. For this purpose, the coat protein of CpCDV was expressed in Escherichia coli strain Rosetta (DE3) and used to screen a Tomlinson phage display antibody library to select a specific single-chain variable fragment (scFv). In each round of biopanning, the affinity of the phage for CpCDV-CP was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that the specificity of the eluted phages increased after each round of panning. Testing of individual clones by ELISA showed that five clones of the monoclonal phage were more strongly reactive against CpCDV than the other clones. All selected positive clones contained the same sequence. The phage-displayed scFv antibody, which was named CpCDV-scFvB9, did not bind to other tested plant pathogens and showed high sensitivity in the detection of CpCDV. A Western blot assay demonstrated that CpCDV-scFvB9 reacted with the recombinant coat protein of CpCDV. Finally, the interaction CpCDV-scFvB9 and CpCDV-CP was analyzed in a molecular docking experiment. This is the first report on production of an scFv antibody against CpCDV, which could be useful for immunological detection of the virus.
