- Specificity : CHKV-24 targets the CHIKV E2 glycoprotein. Antigen Distribution : E2 glycoprotein is expressed on the surface of CHIKV. Background : Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that causes epidemics globally and has been declared a notable disease by the CDC. Symptoms include high fever; myalgia; rash; and severe polyarthritis which can persist for long after acute infection. CHIKV is an enveloped virus with an 11.8-kb single-stranded; positive-sense RNA genome with two open reading frames. There are three main genotypes; having 95.2 to 99.8% amino acid identity: Asian; West African; and East/Central/South African (ECSA). The mature CHIKV virion is comprised of a nucleocapsid protein C and two glycoproteins; E1 and E2. E1 participates in virus fusion. E2 functions in attachment to cells. E1 and E2 form 80 trimeric spikes on the virus surface. Co-circulation of CHIKV with other arboviruses; such as dengue; Zika; Mayaro; and yellow fever; occurs in many countries; posing significant difficulties for diagnosis. Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) can be used both for diagnosis and as a therapeutic agent. CHIKV can be rapidly detected by an immunochromatographic assay using MAbs against the CHIKV envelope protein.
