Abstract: To investigate the immunogenicity of σC protein of a novel duck reovirus (NDRV TH11), the σC gene was cloned into pET30a(+) and expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3). SDSPAGE and Western blot analysis showed that the expressed had good immunological activity. The polyclonal antibody was obtained from the rabbit immunized with purified recombinant protein and its titer was about 1∶20 000 by detection of indirect ELISA. Indirect immunofluorescence assay also demonstrated that the polyclonal antibody reacted specially with the native NDRV σC protein. This study will be helpful for preparation of peptide vaccines and σC function study.

Key words: novel duck reovirus, σC gene, prokaryotic expression, polyclonal antibody
