DNA encoding the N protein was amplified from cDNA prepared from the Urbani isolate (CDC) and cloned into the pBAD-TOPO protein expression vector (Invitrogen). The N protein was expressed in E. coli as a 6-His tagged fusion protein and purified using Ni-NTA columns (Qiagen). BALB/c mice were immunized with purified recombinant N protein at 2-week intervals for 8 weeks. Splenocytes from immunized mice were fused with NS-1 myeloma cells and cultured on 24-well plates. Cell culture supernatants from wells containing hybridoma colonies were initially screened by ELISA using recombinant N protein. Hybridoma cells from positive wells were subcloned, expanded, and retested. For Western blot analysis, Vero cells (ATCC) were mock-infected or infected with SARS-CoV (Urbani strain). The cell lysate was separated on a 15% polyacrylamide gel, transferred to PVDF membranes, and then incubated with an anti-N MAb. After extensive washing, the membranes were incubated with a HRP conjugated goat antimouse IgG (Jackson Laboratories). After 60 minutes, the blot was washed extensively
