, USA), resulting in a group of recombinant plasmids. The E. coli TB1 cells
with the recombinant plasmids were induced by IPTG up to 0.5 mM to produce recombinant MBP-fusion polypeptides, then identified the serial of polypeptides expression by WB using anti-MBP-tag mAb (New England Biolabs, Inc., USA). WB was performed as described above.

Detection of the reactivity of the epitopes with WNV/JEV-positive equine serum To verify whether the epitopes could be detected by WNV/JEV-positive serum, the polypeptides MBP-Cp-2 (MBP fusion containing peptide of Cp-2) and MBP-Dp-1 (MBP fusion containing peptide of Dp-1) were subjected to reaction with WNV/JEV-positive equine serum by WB. WB was performed as described above, but the primary antibody was WNV/JEV-positive equine serum and HRP-conjugated rabbit anti-equine secondary antibodies (LICOR Biosciences) were used [47]. The same test was also performed using WNV-negative equine serum.
