Popis: Background Zika virus (ZIKV) and Dengue virus (DENV) are often co-endemic. The high protein-sequence homology of flaviviruses renders IgG induced by and directed against them highly cross-reactive against their antigen(s), as observed on a large set of sera, leading to poorly reliable sero-diagnosis. Methods We selected Domain III of the ZIKV Envelope (ZEDIII) sequence, which is virus specific. This recombinant domain was expressed and purified for the specific detection of ZEDIII-induced IgG by ELISA from ZIKV-RT-PCR-positive, ZIKV-IgM-positive, flavivirus-positive but ZIKV-negative, or flavivirus-negative sera. We also assessed the reactivity of ZEDIII-specific human antibodies against EDIII of DENV serotype 4 (D4EDIII) as a specific control. Sera from ZEDIII-immunized mice were also tested. Results Cross-reactivity of IgG from 5,600 sera against total inactivated DENV or ZIKV was high (71.0% [69.1; 72.2]), whereas the specificity and sensitivity calculated using a representative cohort (242 sera) reached 90% [84.0; 95.8] and 92% [84.5; 99.5], respectively, using a ZEDIII-based ELISA. Moreover, purified human IgG against D2EDIII or D4EDIII did not bind to ZEDIII and we observed no D4EDIII reactivity with ZIKV-induced mouse polyclonal IgGs. Conclusions We developed a ZEDIII-based ELISA that can discriminate between past or current DENV and ZIKV infections, allowing the detection of a serological scar from other flaviviruses. This could be used to confirm exposure of pregnant women or to follow the spread of an endemic disease.
Author summary The serological detection of Zika virus (ZIKV) is a challenge, as ZIKV infection generally leads to an immune response with a high level of cross reactivity against related viruses, such as Dengue virus. Although seroneutralization assays are the gold-standard to address specificity, a rapid and cost-effective detection assay with good specificity and sensitivity could be used for first-line screening. We used a large cohort to define a set of human reference sera to validate an ELISA based on a recombinant ZIKV antigen. The assay showed 90% specificity and 92% sensitivity, providing a good basis for the development of diagnostic assays. Characterization of both DENV-EDIII-purified human and murine IgG induced by ZIKV infection or ZEDIII, respectively, confirmed the good specificity of the antigen.
