摘要

Pseudorabies virus (PRV, SuidAlphaherpesvirus 1) causes substantial economic losses in swine production. Here, we report the development of DNA aptamers targeting the PRV glycoprotein D (gD) through an optimized SELEX protocol. After 15 selection cycles, Apt-gD-2 demonstrated nanomolar affinity (Kd = 6.107 ± 0.476 nM) and high specificity for gD, as validated by an enzyme-linked aptamer-sorbent assay (ELASA) and fluorescence microscopy. Molecular docking revealed hydrogen bonding as the key interaction mechanism. The developed ic-ELASA achieved 83.3% concordance with qPCR in clinical samples, supporting its utility for on-farm PRV surveillance. These findings highlight the potential of aptamer-based diagnostic methods for rapid, sensitive, and onsite detection of PRV, offering a promising tool for disease control in the swine industry.
