Background:
To prepare mouse monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV)and evaluate their biological characteristics.
Methods:
McAbs against JEV were prepared by immunizing, fusing, cloning and screening. Their sensitivity, specificity, universality and neutralizing function were analyzed with ELISA, IFA, NT and Western blot.
Results:
Titers of three McAbs against JEV were higher than 106. Three McAbs only reacted with JEV and not with other nine arboviruses. F12.37 could react with ten strains of JEV and sensitively detected ten replicating strains of viruses in BHK cell. The strains P3 and SH03-103 of JEV were neutralized by F12.37, its titers of protecting 50% cell were 3.2x105 and 105. Western blot showed that F12.37 reacted with envelop(E)protein of JEV.
Conclusion:
Three McAbs against JEV had high titer and good specificity. And F12.37 was very sensitive and universal in reacting with JEV, and neutralized JEV of Genotype I and Genotype .The binding site of F12.37 lays in E protein of JEV.

There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
