Objective To prepare reference material (RM) for positive serum specific for genotype Ⅱ African swine fever virus (ASFV) for serological detection, quality control, and proficiency testing (PT). Methods The anti-serum collected from specific pathogen-free (SPF) swine immunized with inactivated genotype Ⅱ ASFV was used as raw material for the preparation of RM. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA) was employed to evaluate the purity, specificity, homogeneity, and stability of RM. In addition, RM was characterized by nine laboratories and applied in clinical trials by three laboratories. Results A total of five hundred bottles of RM for positive serum specific for genotype Ⅱ ASFV strain HLJ/18 were successfully prepared. The results indicated that the RM we prepared was pure, homogenous, and free of exogenous virus contamination, showing good specificity, homogeneity, and stability. The RM was stable for at least 18 months when it was stored at -20 ℃ and for at least 7 days at 4 ℃, 25 ℃, and 37 ℃. The characterization by the nine laboratories showed that the RM was positive for antibodies against genotype Ⅱ ASFV. Conclusion The positive serum specific for genotype Ⅱ ASFV strain HLJ/18 has successfully been prepared, providing critical material for ASF detection and diagnosis.
