Description In this study, both partial and full-length nucleocapsid (N) gene of Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) were cloned into pET33b vector and expressed in Escherichia coli (BL21) with the objective of replacing live PPRV antigen with recombinant protein in ELISA. The expressed proteins were characterized by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blot by using a PPRV N protein specific monoclonal antibody. The expressed histidine-tagged fusion proteins were purified using affinity Ni-NTA column and were assessed for their conformation in terms of reactivity by ELISA. The immunogenicity of recombinant proteins was also assessed in rabbits and anti-N antibody response against PPRV was observed in all the immunized rabbits, when tested by competitive and indirect ELISAs. In sandwich ELISA, a mean OD(492 nm) of 1.4 and 0.90 was obtained for crude lysate having expressed the N protein and the PPRV antigen, respectively. Further, the N protein was tested as a coating antigen in competitive ELISA instead of PPRV antigen for serological diagnosis of PPR infection. This indicates the diagnostic potential of the PPRV recombinant N proteins, which are safe and better alternatives to live PPRV antigen in ELISA for clinical or sero-surveillance of PPR in enzootic or non-enzootic countries.
