Objective To establish a quantitative detection method for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome bunyavirus (SFTSV) antigen to detect contents of SFTSV antigen during SFTSV vaccine production. Methods Monoclonal antibody was prepared by immunizing BALB/c mouse with SFTSV antigen, and then purified and labeled with horseradish peroxidase to establish a double antibody sandwich ELISA method. Linear range and sensitivity of the ELISA method were detected, and accuracy, precision and specificity of the ELISA method were validated. Results Linear range, quantification limit and determination coefficient of the ELISA method were 0.117-2.000 mg/L, 0.117 mg/L and 0.990 3, respectively. Accuracy and precision of the ELISA method were good. Recoveries of internal reference were 98% and variation coefficient were all lower than 8%. The ELISA method had good specificity. The results for detecting 6 strains of SFTSV with the ELISA method were all positive, and no reactions were observed with other bunyaviruses, Vero cells and other excipients. Conclusion A quantitative detection method for SFTSV antigen is successfully established and lay the foundation for quality control during SFTSV vaccine production.
