Establishment of a Rep' protein antibody detection method to distinguish natural infection with PCV2 from subunit vaccine immunization.

Conclusion. This paper describes an effective iELISA method that can distinguish natural infection with PCV2 (Cap and Rep positive) or inoculation with a whole-virus inactivated vaccine (Cap and Rep positive) from subunit vaccine immunization (Cap-positive, Rep-negative). These comparative assays could be very useful in the control of PCV2 in pig herds. PMID: 32812860 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
