Abstract: The 741 bp coding region of polyhedrin gene (ph) was amplified from Euproctis pseudoconspersa nucleopolyhedrovirus(EupsNPV)genome and its prokaryotic expression vector pET-28-a-Ep-ph was constructed. Then the prokaryotic expression plasmid was transformed into Escherichia.coli. BL21(DE3)for expression. The expressed fusion protein was separated by SDS-PAGE and retrieved from the gel. New Zealand white rabbit was immunized with the purified fusion protein and the antiserum against ph with a titre of 6.4×104 was prepared. Western blotting indicated that the prepared polyclonal antibody was specific for polyhedrin. The EupsNPV was detected by indirect ELISA and its regression equation was obtained: y=0.4152x-0.8299 with correlation coeffient r=0.9897(P<0.01). Indirect ELISA detection showed that the antibody could be used for quantitative detection of the NPV in a commercial bio-pesticide and provided an accurate and effective method for detection.
