In 2012 Maine Biotechnology Services entered into a partnership with Drs. Mark Heise and Kristen Long of the University of North Carolina Medical School, with the objective of developing monoclonal antibodies to support ongoing research efforts to advance adequate vaccine and rapid detection methods for Chikungunya virus, an emerging global infection. MBS is announcing the release of three monoclonal antibodies resulting from that partnership. The 181/25 vaccine strain of CHKV was used as the immunogen and all three antibodies detect active strains of Chikungunya virus by ELISA. In addition to recognizing the immunizing vaccine strain 181/25 by ELISA, these clones also to the CHIKV strain originating in Sri Lanka. Further ELISA data indicates that the antibodies do not cross-react with other alphaviruses including Mayaro, Ross River and O’nyong-nyong viruses. Applications for these antibodies include the detection of active virus either in circulation or in mosquito carriers.MAB243P
