Methods and compositions for detecting MusPV, also known as MmuPv1, infection of a rodent subject are described according to aspects of the present invention. In specific aspects, the present invention relates to assays for detecting MusPV infection of a rodent subject; vaccine compositions for inducing an immunological response against MusPV in a rodent subject; methods of inducing an immunological response to MusPV in a rodent subject; isolated MusPV protein; isolated antibodies which specifically binds to an MusPV protein, a fragment or variant thereof; isolated recombinantly expressed MusPV proteins; expression constructs comprising a nucleic acid encoding an MusPV protein; host cells comprising the expression construct; and hybridoma cell lines expressing an anti-MusPV monoclonal antibody specific for MusPV. |
