Fig. 1. Detection of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) protein by ferret serum. (A) An r-NP and r-Gn based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed using the positive ferret serum CB1 and CB2. Positive samples demonstrated an optical density (OD) greater than 0.7. (B) After the infection of SFTSV, IFA was performed with CB1 and CB2 positive ferret serum. Two positive serums were detected over the 1:800. (C) Western blotting were performed with CB1 and CB2 proteins. First antibodies were used with CB1 positive serum and CB2 positive serum. M; protein marker; NP, nucleocapsid protein.
