Description
Summary:Acute phase protein (APP) response to vaccine challenges is an attractive alternative to natural infection for identifying pigs with increased disease resilience and monitoring the productive performance. Currently, the methods used for APP quantification are diverse and often based on techniques that use antibodies that are not necessarily pig specific. The objective of this work is the development of a method based on a UPLC-SRM/MS system for simultaneous determination of haptoglobin, apolipoprotein A1, C-reactive protein, pig-major acute protein, and serum amyloid A and its application in pigs to monitor the effect of a vaccine administered against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). With the aim of tracing the complete analytical process for each proteotypic peptide, a synthetic QconCat polypeptide construct was designed. It was possible to develop an SRM method including haptoglobin, apolipoprotein A1, pig-MAP, and serum amyloid A1. The PRRSV vaccine only affected haptoglobin. The pigs with positive viremia tended to show higher values than negative pigs, reaching significant differences in the three haptoglobin SRM-detected peptides but not with the data acquired by immunoenzymatic and spectrophotometric assays. These results open the door to the use of SRM to accurately monitor APP changes in experimental pigs.
