Abstract
Present study was performed to develop a fusion recombinant monoclonal antibody for one-step and accurate detection of FMV with a specific single-chain variable fragment (scFv) fused to alkaline phosphatase (AP) named as scFv(FMV-NP)-AP. The gene encoding-specific scFv recombinant antibody binding to nucleocapsid protein of Fig Mosaic Virus (FMV-NP) was fused to upstream of AP gene and integrated in pET26b bacterial expression vector. As vector contain pelB signal peptide, the expressed protein is secreted into periplasmic compartment. Recombinant fusion protein was produced in transformed E. coli following induction by IPTG. Extraction and purification of fusion protein was performed under denatured condition. The results of SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis indicated high integrity and purity with a single band protein with expected size of 72 kDa. The total yield of purified scFv(FMV-NP)-AP fusion protein estimated around 0.5–1 mg/l cultured medium. Subsequent colorimetric analysis confirmed presence of alkaline phosphatase activity in prepared scFv-AP fusion protein. Specificity of generated recombinant fusion antibody against cognate antigen and the native virus presented in infected plant extracts was assessed by ELISA, western blot and dot blot assays. Results revealed that scFv(FMV-NP)-AP is able to detect the presence of FMV in infected fig plants. The novel approach, implementing specific recombinant fusion antibody developed in this research, leads to one-step detection of FMV in plants by avoiding the use of chemical enzyme-labeled secondary antibodies.
