Method for detecting bovine diarrhoea virus infection, nucleotide sequence encoding a protein induced by this virus infection and recombinant proteins and antigens relating thereto

摘要

In the method for detecting infection of a blood sample with a bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) virus, there are detected, on the one hand, the anti-p80 antibodies by means of a recombinant antigen containing the BVD virus protein p80 produced in an eucaryotic host and, on the other hand, the presence of viral particles by means of antibodies directed against the BVD virus protein p80, in order to detect persistent viremias and acute infections with any BVD strain. Nucleotide sequence of BVD Osloss encoding the protein p80, recombinant proteins obtained from this sequence and recombinant antigens incorporating this recombinant protein. IMAGE
