Fig. 2From: Antibody production and characterization of the nucleoprotein of sever fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) for effective diagnosis of SFTSVIdentification of specific epitopes on SFTSV N protein and type of antibody produced in response to SFTSV N protein immunization. A Dot blot analysis of full-length native SFTSV N protein using each anti-SFTSV-N-protein antibody produced in response to immunization of mice. All antibodies detected the native SFTSV N protein. B Western blot analysis of full-length denatured SFTSV N protein using each anti-SFTSV-N-protein antibody produced in response to immunization of mice. Clones #3(B4E2) and #5(B4D9) detected the denatured SFTSV N protein of correct size (28Â kDa), and clone #7(C4C12) detected an unexpected protein. Data for other antibodies for which no bands appeared are not shownBack to article page
