肺炎链球菌毒力蛋白DNA疫苗优势抗原组合筛选及鉴定

目的 探讨肺炎链球菌DNA疫苗候选抗原联合免疫的优势抗原组合方式.方法 分子克隆肺炎链球菌表面蛋白A(PspA)N端及肺炎链球菌溶血素(Ply)基因序列,构建重组质粒pcDNA3.1-PspA'和pcDNA3.1-PBD(PBD为Ply 点突变减毒体),免疫印迹(Western blot)检测重组质粒在哺乳动物BHK-21细胞中的表达(包括前期工作中构建的重组质粒pcDNA3.1-PsaA).将3种重组基因疫苗以不同方式组合肌肉注射免疫150只BALB/c小鼠(B组:pcDNA3.1-PsaA+pcDNA3.1-PspA',C组:pcDNA3.1-PsaA+pcDNA3.1-PBD,D组:pcDNA3.1-PspA'+pcDNA3.1-PBD,E组:pcDNA3.1-PsaA+pcDNA3.1-PspA'+pcDNA3.1-PBD),检测各组小鼠血清特异性抗体IgG水平,观察免疫小鼠鼻咽部肺炎链球菌D39携带改变和D39腹腔攻击小鼠21 d生存情况.结果 成功构建3种重组真核表达载体,ELISA检测结果显示B组小鼠血清特异性IgG抗体水平与E组相似(P>0.05),均明显高于A、C、D组[A组:对照空质粒组pcDNA3.1(+)]小鼠(P<0.01);免疫小鼠鼻咽部D39携带菌落计数提示B组小鼠相似于E组小鼠(P>0.05),并明显少于C、D组和阴性对照组(A组和PBS组,P<0.01),并且D39腹腔攻击小鼠21 d生存时间分析亦提示其中位生存时间明显长于C组及阴性对照组(A组和PBS组,P<0.01).结论 PspA'联合PsaA的抗原组合方式具有高效的协同保护效能,可作为肺炎链球菌DNA疫苗的优势候选抗原组合.

Screening of dominant antigen formats of DNA vaccine against Streptococcus pneumoniae

Objective To screen different formats of dominant antigens of DNA vaccine of Streptococcus pneumoniae.Methods The fragments of pneumococcal surface protein A(PspA')and PBD [mutant of pneumococcal lysozyme(Ply)] from Streptococcus pneumoniae R6 genome were amplified and then cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+).These recombinant vectors pcDNA3.1-PspA',pcDNA3.1-PBD and pcDNA3.1-PsaA(pneumococcal surface adhesin A,produced in our preliminary work)were transfected into BHK-21 cells,and their...
