Abstract
The present invention also provides infectious DNA clones, biologically functional plasmid or viral vector containing the infectious nucleic acid genome molecule of Torque teno sus virus (TTsuV). The present invention also provides methods for diagnosing TTsuV infection via immunological methods, e.g., enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot using PTTV specific antigens for detecting serum PTTV specific antibodies which indicate infections TTsuV1, TTsuV2, and individual TTsuV1 genotypes.

1-14. (canceled)
A method for diagnosing TTsuV infection, comprising
- immobilizing an immunogentic fragment or a complete protein of a polypeptide sequence of ORF1 protein of TTsuV 1 or 2;
- contacting a serum sample from a pig suspected of TTsuV infection with the immobilized immunogentic fragment or complete protein;
- and
- detecting captured antibody specific to the immunogentic fragment.
