Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV; genus Potyvirus) is an economically important virus infecting cucurbit crops. Preparation of antiserum with high specificity and sensitivity is essential for rapid and accurate detection and identification of WMV. In this study, WMV coat protein (CP) gene was cloned into E. coli expression vector pEHISTEV, named pEHISTEV-WMV-CP. pEHISTEV-WMV-CP was transformed and expressed into E. coli Rosetta. A protein with expected molecular weight of 36 kDa was obtained after IPTG induction. The band was cut and used to immune New Zealand white rabbit. Western blotting results showed that the antiserum could specifically recognize WMV CP expressed in E. coli and WMV from infected leaves. There was no cross reaction to closely related Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), Potato virus Y (PVY), Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) from the genus Potyvirus, neither the Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) of the genus Tobamovirus. The antiserum had a titer of 1:8 192 in PTA-ELISA and could detect WMV infected samples diluted up to 512 times. Among the 10 samples showed positive reaction in RT-PCR, all of them were positive when detected with this antiserum via PTA-ELISA. These results indicated that the antiserum obtained in our study had high specificity and sensitivity and laid solid foundation for rapid and accurate detection and identification of WMV.
