Serology of SARS-CoV-2 infected calves. Indirect ELISAs using in-house produced recombinant SARS-CoV-2/Delta receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein (A) and SARS-CoV-2/Wuhan-like nucleocapsid (N) protein (B), for detection of SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies in cattle sera (Bold et al. 2022). The cut-off (dotted line) was determined by the average OD value of negative serum samples (n = 12) collected from cattle in 2014 + 3X the standard deviation. Serum was also tested for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies using a classic virus neutralization assay employing the Delta VOC (C) or Omicron BA.2 VOC (data not shown) with serum dilutions starting at 1:8 (dotted line). Data is represented as log2 of the reciprocal of the dilution where one of two replicates exhibited 100% neutralization of the input virus (1000 TCID50/mL). Likewise, serum was tested for the presence of neutralizing antibodies for bovine coronavirus (D) using the Mebus strain of Bovine Coronavirus.
