V. aAntibodies for the coat protein of cotton Leafroll Dwarf Virus Detect Commelina sp. as an Intermediary Host for Cotton Blue Disease.h[electronic resource] c2022 aThe cotton blue disease, caused by the cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV), leads to dwarfism, leaf rolling, and production loss in susceptible cotton varieties. To develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test to detect the virus in cotton and weeds, peptides based on the coat protein were used to produce polyclonal (a-GQE, a-PRN, and a-INK) and monoclonal (a-GQE, a-PRN, and a-NKF) antibodies. All six were tested as capture antibodies, and polyclonal a-GQE and the monocle onal a-NKF were labeled with the enzyme alkaline phosphatase and used as detection antibodies for a double antibody sandwich (DAS) ELISA method, in which p-nitrophenyl phosphate was added and measured by absorbance at 405 nm. The DAS-ELISA sandwich was efficient in discriminating between healthy and diseased plant extracts. The ELISA methodology detected the virus in the weeds Commelina sp., which was confirmed by RT-PCR. The monoclonal antibodies may be used to develop other diagnostic procedures. aSerology aVĂ­rus aCLRDV aEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) aIntermediary host1 aBRANQUINHO, A. A.1 aBARROSO, P.
