Canine parvovirus (CPV) & feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) Non-enveloped, T =1 icosahedral capsid, 26 nm diameter. Single-stranded DNA genome 2 genes – 4 overlapping proteins. Capsid - 60 copies of VP2 and VP1 (90% VP2; 10% VP1). VP2 forms capsids; VP1 required for cell infection. ~5120 nts 3’ 5’ VP1 NS1 VP2 NS2
Emergence and evolution of CPV.

1978 ~1970 1979 VP2 gene evolution: CPV in a separate clade, divided into 2 subclades. Substitution rates: FPV to CPV: ~7 x 10-3 (nt/site/yr) CPV clade: 2 x 10-4(nt/site/yr) CPV ancestor ~1970. 9 changes 3 changes
3’-end DNA VP2 VP1 Methods Used: 1) Protein expression – baculovirus expression and cell infection. 2) X-ray crystallography and cryoEM (Rossmann lab). 3) Biochemistry – binding assays. 4) Cell biology and processes of cell entry. 5) Evolutionary biology – processes of cell selection.

Antibody binding and neutralization: Two dominant antigenic sites on virus. Overlap the TfR binding sites. Host range mutations alter antigenicity. Site A Site B
Testing 8 monoclonal Fabs:High or low neutralizing activity.
Competition by Fabs for soluble feline TfR:All compete, highly neutralizing more efficient.
