Porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) infection results in severe gastrointestinal disease manifesting vomiting, diarrhea in neonatal porcine, with extremely high mortality. Monoclonal antibody (MAb) specific to TGEV nonstructural protein (NSP)14 that contains two functional domains, exonuclease (ExoN) and methyltransferase (MTase) domains, may help elucidate the role of NSP14 in the viral life-cycle. In this study, we developed a murine MAb, designated 12F1, against TGEV NSP14 using traditional cell-fusion technique. It was shown the MAb can exclusively bind to viral NSP14, as evidenced by the results of indirect fluorescent assay and western blotting. Intriguingly, epitope screening assay shown that 12F1 targets a hinge region connecting ExoN and N7-MTase of NSP14.
