Rabbit Anti-PCV2 capsid protein/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
There has been much uncertainty in the relationship between PCV2 and PMWS but Bolin et al demonstrated that Koch's postulates could be fulfilled by inoculating cesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived (CDCD) pigs with PCV2 and producing clinical signs of PMWS. Similar work has been performed using an infectious genomic clone of PCV2 in specific pathogen free (SPF) pigs to produce the gross and microscopic lymphoid lesions of PMWS. Although PCV2 has been shown to induce PMWS lesions in CDCD and SPF pigs, the presence of additional factors are required.
Function:
Self-assembles to form the virion icosahedral capsid with a T=1 symmetry. This very small capsid (17 - 22 nm in diameter) allows the virus to be very stable in the environment and resistant to some disinfectants, including detergents. Essential for the initial attachment to heparan sulfate moities and chondroitin sulfate B of the host cell surface proteoglycans. After attachment, the virus is internalized in a clathrin-, caveolae- and dynamin-independent, actin and Rho-GTPase-mediated pathway and traffics to the nucleus. The capsid protein binds and transports the viral genome and Rep across the nuclear envelope.
Subunit:
Homomultimer. Assembles in the nucleus, presumably in an immature form, then migrates to the cytoplasm once assembled as mature virion (Probable). Interacts with Rep; this interaction relocates Rep into the nucleus.
Subcellular Location:
Host nucleus. Virion (Potential).
Similarity:
Belongs to the circoviridae capsid protein family.
Database links:
Entrez Gene: 2943185 PCV2
SwissProt: O56129 PCV2

猪圆环病毒-PCSLV2是一种嗜单核-巨噬细胞性的病毒，属于圆环病毒科圆环病毒属的成员，根据抗原性及基因组成，分为PCVl和PCV2两种，其中PCV2对猪具有致病性，PCV2(病毒囊膜衣壳蛋白(Cap))主要侵害免疫系统，导致感染猪免疫抑制，降低机体对其他病原体的抵抗力和疫苗的反应性，容易导致其他病毒和细菌的继发感染，使死亡率明显升高。
