Comparison of the reactivities of baculovirus-expressed recombinant Norwalk virus capsid antigen with those of the native Norwalk virus antigen in serologic assays and some epidemiologic observations.

Abstract:

:Since the discovery of the Norwalk virus (NV) by immune electron microscopy (IEM) in 1972, serologic studies with this virus have relied on particle-positive fecal material from infected volunteers as the source of antigen because it has not been possible to propagate this virus in cell culture. However, the recent cloning of the NV (strain 8FIIa) genome and expression of the capsid protein in a baculovirus system to form "virus-like particles" has provided a consistent source of antigen (designated rNV). The purpose of the present study was to compare the antigenicities of these rNV particles with those of native NV antigen derived from human fecal material by using well-characterized sera obtained from earlier studies. In IEM studies, the rNV antigen reacted with NV-specific antibodies in a manner similar to that observed previously when particle-positive fecal material was used as antigen. In addition, a direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in which the rNV antigen was used as antigen, proved efficient and specific for the detection of serologic responses to NV compared with the previously established techniques of IEM and blocking antibody immunoassays in which particle-positive fecal material was used as the antigen. The availability of an unlimited source of antigen will enable serologic studies that will greatly increase our understanding of the epidemiology of NV and its role in human enteric illness.
