N-terminally His-tagged hepatitis B core antigens: Construction, expression, purification and antigenicity

The core antigen of the hepatitis B virus (HBcAg) has been used widely as a diagnostic reagent for the identification of the viral infection. However, purification using the conventional sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation is time consuming and costly. To overcome this, HBcAg particles displaying His-tag on their surface were constructed and produced in Escherichia coli. The recombinant His-tagged HBcAgs were purified using immobilized metal affinity chromatography. Transmission electron microscopy and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) revealed that the displayed His-tag did not impair the formation of the core particles and the antigenicity of HBcAg.     

Immunocompetent truncated E2 glycoprotein of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) expressed in Nicotiana tabacum plants: a candidate antigen for new generation of veterinary vaccines

The bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is the etiological agent responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical diseases in cattle. The glycoprotein E2 is the major envelope protein of this virus and the strongest inductor of the immune response. There are several available commercial vaccines against bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), which show irregular performances. Here, we report the use of tobacco plants as an alternative productive platform for the expression of the truncated version of E2 glycoprotein (tE2) from the BVDV. The tE2 sequence, lacking the transmembrane domain, was cloned into the pK7WG2 Agrobacterium binary vector. The construct also carried the 2S2 Arabidopsis thaliana signal for directing the protein into the plant secretory pathway, the Kozak sequence, an hexa-histidine tag to facilitate protein purification and the KDEL endoplasmic reticulum retention signal. The resulting plasmid (pK-2S2-tE2-His-KDEL) was introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA101 by electroporation. The transformed A. tumefaciens was then used to express tE2 in leaves of Nicotiana tabacum plants. Western blot and ELISA using specific monoclonal antibodies confirmed the presence of the recombinant tE2 protein in plant extracts. An estimated amount of 20 μg of tE2 per gram of fresh leaves was regularly obtained with this plant system. Injection of guinea pigs with plant extracts containing 20 μg of rtE2 induced the production of BVDV specific antibodies at equal or higher levels than those induced by whole virus vaccines. This is the first report of the production of an immunocompetent tE2 in N. tabacum plants, having the advantage to be free of any eventual animal contaminant.

Identification of residues involved in the substrate specificity of human and murine dCK

Deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) is a salvage pathway enzyme that can phosphorylate both pyrimidine and purine deoxynucleosides, including important antiviral and cytostatic agents. Earlier studies showed that there are differences in kinetic properties between human and murine dCK, which may explain differences in toxic effects of nucleoside analogs. To determine if certain substitutions in amino acid sequences between human and mouse dCK give these differences in substrate specificity the 14 mutants and hybrid forms of human dCK were studied. All variants were characterised with dCyd, dAdo and dGuo as phosphate acceptors and ATP and UTP as phosphate donor. The relative activities with dCyd, dAdo and dGuo were about 70, 20, 30%, respectively, with UTP as compared to ATP for human dCK and 40, 60, 70% for mouse dCK. Among all tested mutants only the triple combination of substitutions Q179R-T184K-H187N (RKN) had a kinetic behaviour very similar to mouse dCK. The kinetic patterns with several important nucleoside analogs, such as AraC, CdA, ddC and AraG have also been studied. Results demonstrated 50-70% low relative capacities of the recombinant mouse and triple mutant RKN to phosphorylate this nucleoside analogs compare with human dCK. A model for dCK was used to try to explain the functional role of these amino acid substitutions. According to this model the triple mutant RKN have altered amino acids in a region necessary for conformational changes during catalyses. This may affects the substrate selectivity both for the nucleosides and the phosphate donors.     

Expression of Recombinant Human FADD,Preparation of Its Polyclonal Antiserum and the Application in Immunoassays

The wild-type human Fas-associated death domain （FADD） protein was expressed as a His-tag fusion protein in Escherichia coll. Recombinant FADD proteins were purified under the denatured condition. After denatured protein purification, it was refolded and obtained at a yield of about 23 mg/L. Purified FADD exhibited as a homogenous band corresponding to the molecular weight of 31 kDa. Immunization of rabbits against the refolded FADD protein was allowed the production of high titre polyclonal antiserum. This new polyelonal antibody could recognize recombinant FADD protein in Western blot. Immunoreactivity was also observed in immunofiuorescence assay. The low cost polyclonal antiserum was applicable to extensive detection of FADD in various immunoassays. Cellular ＆ Molecular Immunology. 2008;5（6）：471-474.
