5 Conclusion
In summary, three hybridoma cell lines producing mAbs against ASFV p30
protein were obtained, and all of them we identified for the first time
two novel epitopes
(1MDFILNISMKMEVIFKTDLR20,26VFHAGSLYNW35)
on p30 protein. Epitope mapping is an important technique used to
determine regions within a protein that can be recognized by the immune
system. Therefore, identifying the exact epitopes will create the
opportunity to design epitope-based vaccines and genotype specific
diagnostic tests.
