手足口病CA16型VP1亚单位疫苗的构建制备及免疫原性初步分析

目的 制备CA16型VP1蛋白疫苗并进行免疫原性初步分析,为手足口病CA16疫苗的深入研究提供资料.方法 利用RT-PCR技术获得CA16 VP1基因,克隆到载体pFastBac HT A,与Bacmid DNA重组,转染Sf9昆虫细胞,重组CA16 VP1蛋白与Al(OH)_3佐剂混合制备重组CA16 VP1蛋白疫苗,腹腔免疫BALB/c小鼠,2次免疫后进行免疫效果初步评价.结果 用间接免疫荧光、SDS-PAGE和Western blot法,证明重组CA16 VP1蛋白在昆虫细胞Sf9中得到表达,用ELISA和微量中和法检测到免疫小鼠血清有特异IgG和中和抗体产生,最佳免疫抗原剂量为20μg,其特异IgG效价为1:1600,中和抗体效价为1:250;通过淋巴细胞增殖试验和细胞因子测定,证明诱导T细胞应答,诱发Th1/Th2型免疫应答.结论 CA16 VP1基因克隆成功,并在Sf9昆虫细胞中获得表达,构建的蕈组CA16 VP1亚单位疫苗具有诱导特异性细胞免疫和体液免疫应答的能力,为今后研制手足口病CA16疫苗奠定了基础.

Preparation of the Coxsackievirus A16 VP1 subunit vaccine and detection of its immunogenicity

Objective To prepare VP1 protein vaccine of Coxsackievirus A16(CA16) and evalu-ate immunngenicity the subunit vaccines of Coxsackievirus (VP1), and to establish foundation for studying CA16 vaccine. Methods CA16 VP1 was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into pFastBac HT A plasmid, recombinated with Bacmid DNA by transposition reaction and then transfected Sf9 cell, mixed with adjuvant AI(OH)_3. After immunization BALB/c mice, evaluating immune effectiveness after booster injections 2 weeks. Results The expressed protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot, mice immunized with CA16 (VP1) both induced specific IgG antibody and neutralization antibody. The best immunization antigen was 20 μg, IgG antibody was 1: 1600, neutralization antibody was 1:250, typical Th1/Th2 immune response was determined by lymphocyte proliferation assay and cytokine analysis. Conclusion The CA16 VP1 gene was cloned successfully and expressed in Sf9 insect cells, CA16 VP1 protein vaccine induced both humoral and cellular immune response, to lay solid foundation for further study on CA16 vaccine.
