Novel sandwich immunoassay detects a shrimp AHPND-causing binary PirAB Vp toxin produced by Vibrio parahaemolyticus
2023
Overview
The binary PirA/PirB toxin expressed by
(PirAB
) is a virulent complex that causes acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in shrimps, affecting the global shrimp farming industry. AHPND is currently diagnosed by detecting
and
genes by PCR; however, several
strains do not produce the two toxins as proteins. Thus, an immunoassay using antibodies may be the most effective tool for detecting toxin molecules. In this study, we report a sandwich ELISA-based immunoassay for the detection of PirAB
.
We utilized a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody library to select scFvs against the PirA or PirB subunits. Phage display panning rounds were conducted to screen and identify scFv antibodies directed against each recombinant toxin subunit. Selected scFvs were converted into IgGs to develop a sandwich immunoassay to detect recombinant and bacterial PirAB
.
Antibodies produced as IgG forms showed sub-nanomolar to nanomolar affinities (K
), and a pair of anti-PirA antibody as a capture and anti-PirB antibody as a detector showed a limit of detection of 201.7 ng/mL for recombinant PirAB
. The developed immunoassay detected PirAB
in the protein lysates of AHPND-causing
and showed a significant detectability in moribund or dead shrimp infected with a
virulent strain compared to that in non-infected shrimp.
These results indicate that the developed immunoassay is a reliable method for diagnosing AHPND by detecting PirAB
at the protein level and could be further utilized to accurately determine the virulence of extant or newly identified
in the global shrimp culture industry.
