Abstract:
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is one of the most prevalent global viral encephalitis viruses. The functions of JEV (virus) NS4B protein are still under investigation. In our study, NS4B was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by dialysis. Two clones of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs 1B1 and 1C3) against NS4B protein were generated and their characterizations were investigated. IFA, Western blot, and ELISA results showed that the MAbs were specific against JEV NS4B protein. The epitope of the MAbs was further identified using pairs of synthesized overlapping peptides. These MAbs may provide valuable tools for further exploration of the functions of NS4B and the pathogenesis of Japanese encephalitis virus.

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...
