人巨细胞病毒pp65核酸疫苗的构建、表达与动物免疫效应

构建真核重组表达质粒PVAX1-pp65,通过对其表达产物的鉴定和免疫小鼠实验,探讨PVAX1-pp65载体对诱导免疫应答的效果及方式。用已构建的原核表达载体pp65-pet32a,经酶切后与DNA疫苗载体PVAX1连接,构建HCMVpp65核酸疫苗(PVAX1-pp65)。用脂质体法将其转染293细胞,经间接免疫荧光、免疫印迹试验来验证其表达的产物。同时,免疫小鼠后取其脾脏细胞,经流式细胞仪检测其CD4+和CD8+T细胞;并利用MTT法测定免疫小鼠的T细胞对ConA和重组pp65蛋白刺激后的增殖活性。结果显示构建的真核表达载体PVAX1-pp65,经测序验证其序列正确。体外转染实验结果表明转染重组质粒的细胞胞浆内呈现与特异性pp65单克隆抗体反应的颗粒状荧光产物,免疫印迹试验也显示重组质粒转染的细胞裂解物中有pp65蛋白条带。另外,免疫小鼠脾CD8+T细胞的含量明显高于对照组;免疫鼠脾细胞对重组pp65抗原蛋白的刺激后增殖反应明显。综上结果证实,成功地构建了HCMVpp65核酸疫苗,并能有效地表达,表达的蛋白具有良好的免疫原性和免疫反应性。HCMVpp65DNA疫苗可诱导小鼠产生针对HCMV的特异性细胞免疫应答,可作为一种有应用前景的核酸疫苗进一步深入研究。

Construction and expression of human cytomegalovirus pp65 DNA vaccine and induction of cellular immune response

To construct the eukaryotic expression vector pvax1-pp65 and observe its effect, the pp65 gene fragment in prokaryotic expression pet32a-pp65 was digested and subcloned into pvaxl. The vector were transfected in 293 cells and inoculated in mice respectively. Using IFA and Western blotting to detect its expression in vitro and observe its specific lymphoproliferation by MTT colorimetric assay. Both IFA and Western blotting showed pp65 protein has been expressed successfully. MTT assay showed it has higher specific proliferation activity. It is concluded that DNA vaccine pvax1-pp65 can express in mammalian cells and induce cellular immune response,
