摘要:

非洲猪瘟是由非洲猪瘟病毒引起的一种急性、高传染性和致死性的传染病,对猪养殖业造成了巨大的影响。安全有效的疫苗和有效治疗药物的缺乏给非洲猪瘟防控带来了巨大的挑战。作者尝试设计一种融合蛋白以改善非洲猪瘟病毒p30的免疫原性。白喉毒素的无毒突变体CRM197已被成功地用作多糖-蛋白结合疫苗的载体蛋白,以增强多糖的免疫原性。本研究构建p30与CRM197催化结构域(A片段)的融合表达质粒,纯化后的重组蛋白和单独p30分别使用小鼠评价了其免疫原性。结果显示:通过原核表达与亲和层析纯化得到融合蛋白p30-CRM197(A)免疫小鼠后,较单独表达的p30其可以在更短的时间内激发起高水平针对p30的特异性IgG,并且在初次免疫后56 d后还能维持较高水平的淋巴细胞免疫活力。本研究结果表明,CRM197的A片段作为载体蛋白显著增强原核表达p30蛋白的免疫原性,其可作为非洲猪瘟亚单位疫苗的候选分子内佐剂。

Abstract:

African swine fever is an acute, highly contagious and deadly infectious disease caused by the African swine fever virus, which has had a huge impact on the pig breeding industry. The lack of vaccines and effective therapeutic drugs has brought great challenges to the prevention and control of African swine fever. We tried to design a fusion protein to improve the immunogenicity of African swine fever virus p30. CRM197, a non-virulent mutant of diphtheria toxin, has been successfully used as a carrier protein in polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines to enhance the immunogenicity of polysaccharides. In this study, a fusion expression plasmid of p30 and CRM197 catalytic domain (A fragment) was constructed, and the immunogenicity of the purified recombinant protein and p30 alone were evaluated using mice. After immunizing mice with the fusion protein p30-CRM197(A) purified by prokaryotic expression and affinity chromatography, p30 alone could excite a high level of specific IgG against p30 in a shorter period of time, and maintain a high level of lymphocyte immune activity two months after the initial epidemic. The results of this study showed that the A fragment of CRM197 alone could significantly enhance the immunogenicity of prokaryotic expression p30 protein as a protein carrier, and it could be used as a candidate intramolecular adjuvant for African swine fever subunit vaccine.
