Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Hepatitis E virus (HEV) poses a significant global health challenge.
  • The HEV ORF2 encoded p166 protein is a key target for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
  • Understanding HEV antigenic epitopes is crucial for developing effective interventions.

Purpose:

  • To generate and characterize monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against the HEV p166 protein.
  • To investigate the antigenic epitopes present in different HEV genotypes and subtypes.
  • To analyze the immunological relationship between recombinant and native HEV antigens.

Summary:

  • Six McAb-producing hybridoma cell lines were established against HEV p166 proteins.
  • One McAb (4D3) recognized all tested HEV genotypes, indicating common epitopes.

  • Other McAbs showed specificity for certain genotypes (e.g., III and IV), revealing genotype-specific epitopes.
  • The study identified genotype-common (I, II, III, IV), genotype-specific (III), and subtype-specific epitopes within HEV p166 proteins.
  • Immunological characteristics of epitopes on recombinant p166 proteins mirrored those on native HEV particles.

    • Impact:

    • Provides valuable tools (McAbs) for HEV research and diagnostics.
    • Elucidates the antigenic diversity of HEV, crucial for vaccine development.
    • Confirms the presence of shared and distinct antigenic sites across HEV genotypes.
    • Enhances understanding of HEV immunopathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets.
