[0064] Using purified SBV virus-like particle as a positive quality control product, SBV nucleic acid testing was performed on sheep serum clinical samples.

[0065] The purified SBV virus-like particles were detected by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Results were shown in FIG. 4. The target protein was located between 26 kDa and 48 kDa, the size of which was consistent with a size of 2 times of MS2 bacteriophage coat protein (27.4 kDa). Verification results of purity indicated that: for PCR identification, there was no amplification curve; for RT-PCR identification, there was a standard S amplification curve, suggesting that there were virus-like particles containing the SB target gene in the solution without DNA contamination (FIG. 5). Electron microscopy observation showed that polygonal particles with a diameter of about 26 nm, i.e. the expressed virus-like particles after induction, may be observed (FIG. 6). Clinical application tests indicated that after fluorescence quantitative detection, the nucleic acid detection of the positive quality control product of SBV virus-like particles showed a standard S curve, and the clinical serum samples were identified as negative by the nucleic acid detection, which was consistent with the serologic detection results.

[0066] Although the present invention is described in detail through the general description and specific embodiments above, modifications or improvements may be made based on the present invention, which is obvious to a person skilled in the art. Therefore, all of those modifications or improvements that are made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall into the scope of the invention as claimed.
