This different reactivity was also confirmed by immunoblot analysis using the serum from the ferret.Therefore, the a.a. 1–179 of the N protein was used as an ELISA antigen. In this study, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using recombinant N proteins was established and applied to investigate the seroprevalence of FRcoV infection in Japan. The plasma of No.10 and serum of ferret No.22 showed differ-ent reactivities from the other samples in ELISA (Fig. 2) . In this study, we attempted to clarify the seroprevalence of FRcoV in Japan and developed an ELISA using two Yamaguchi-1 strain recombinant N proteins, GST-N (1-179) and GST-N (180-374). ./cache/cord-334896-3g75spkc.txt ./txt/cord-334896-3g75spkc.txt
