CD2v, a critical outer envelope glycoprotein of the African swine fever virus (ASFV), plays central role in hemadsorption phenomenon during ASFV infection and is recognized as an essential immunoprotective protein. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting CD2v have demonstrated promise both diagnosing combating (ASF). The objective this study was to develop specific monoclonal against CD2v. In investigation, Recombinant expressed eukaryotic cells, murine mAbs were generated through meticulous screening hybridoma cloning. Various techniques, including indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), western blotting, immunofluorescence (IFA), bio-layer interferometry (BLI), employed characterize mAbs. Epitope mapping conducted using truncation mutants epitope peptide mapping. An optimal antibody pair for highly sensitive sandwich ELISA identified, antigenic structures by elucidated. Two linear epitopes conserved genotype II strains, particularly Chinese endemic along with unique glycosylated epitope. Three mAbs, 2B25, 3G25, 8G1, effectively blocked CD2v-induced NF-κB activation. This provides valuable insights into structure obtained hold great potential use development ASF diagnostic strategies, identified may contribute vaccine ASFV.
