摘要: Bovine pestivirus A and B, previously known as bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV)-1 and 2, respectively, are important pathogens of cattle worldwide, which causes significant economic losses. B-cell epitopes in BVDV glycoprotein E2 and nonstructural protein NS2/3 have been extensively identified. In this study, we screened a 12-mer phage display peptide library using commercial goat anti-BVDV serum, and identified a mimotope "LTPHKHHKHLHA" referred to as P3. With sequence alignment, a putative B-cell epitope "77ESRKKLEKALLA88" termed as P3-BVDV1/2 residing in BVDV core protein was identified. The synthesized peptides of both P3 and P3-BVDV1/2 show strong reactivity with BVDV serum in immune blot assay. Immunization of mice with these individual peptides leads to the production of antibody that cannot neutralize virus infectivity. Thus for the first time we identified a B-cell epitope, "77ESRKKLEKALLA88", in BVDV core protein. Interestingly, the epitope was highly conserved in Pestivirus A, B, C, D, as well as emerging Pestivirus E and I, but highly variable in Pestiviruses H, G, F, and J, as well as unclassified Pestivirus originated from non-ruminant animals. Whether this putative Bcell epitope is implicated in pestivirus pathogenesis or evolution needs further investigations once large numbers of isolates are available in the future.
