摘要:

本研究旨在开发一种猪瘟E2纳米颗粒疫苗,并对其免疫原性进行分析。以猪瘟病毒石门株E2基因序列为模板,对其胞外域进行人源密码子优化,通过293F哺乳动物细胞真核表达系统制备E2、E2-pFc(E2与猪源抗体的Fc片段融合表达)、SpyTag-E2(E2与SpyTag融合表达)以及纳米骨架蛋白LS(lumazine synthase-protein A),原核表达系统纯化纳米骨架蛋白mi3(mi3-SpyCatcher),进一步组装成纳米颗粒LS-E2-pFc NP和mi3-E2 NP,并通过透射电镜和动态光散射试验进行鉴定,各组蛋白分别与ISA201佐剂乳化,制备亚单位疫苗。选用1.5~2.0 kg重的日本长耳大白兔35只,随机分为7组,包括空白对照组(n=3)、PBS阴性对照组(n=3)、E2组(n=5)、E2-pFc组(n=5)、LS-E2-pFc NP组(n=5)、mi3-E2 NP组(n=5)和CSFV E2商业化亚单位疫苗组(n=3)。于0、21 d进行肌肉注射免疫,42 d将CSFV C株经耳缘静脉按照100 RID50 ·只-1进行攻毒,通过阻断ELISA、中和试验、体温监测和RT-qPCR等试验评估兔的特异性抗体水平、中和抗体水平、兔体定型热反应以及脾脏病毒载量。结果显示,各组分蛋白成功表达,纯化后的蛋白条带单一,纯度较高。透射电镜可观察到粒径在10~70 nm的纳米颗粒结构,动态光散射试验观察到mi3-E2平均粒径(68 nm)大于mi3(42.73 nm),LS-E2-pFc平均粒径(42.4 nm)大于LS(13 nm)。免疫试验结果表明,E2、E2-pFc、LS-E2-pFc NP、mi3-E2 NP疫苗和商业化亚单位疫苗均有良好的免疫效果,攻毒前7 d,血清中特异性抗体阻断率均在89%以上,组间差异不显著(P>0.05)。攻毒后,PBS阴性对照组出现典型的兔体定型热反应,其余免疫组的体温变化不明显;攻毒后7 d,E2、E2-pFc、LS-E2-pFc NP、mi3-E2 NP疫苗和商业化亚单位疫苗组的中和抗体效价分别为1 ∶10 392.4、1 ∶37 168.4、1 ∶75 473.6、1 ∶20 201.8、1 ∶2 407,其中,LS-E2-pFc NP组的中和抗体水平最高。RT-qPCR结果显示,E2组有一只兔检出低拷贝的病毒载量,拷贝数为5.83 copies ·μL-1,其余免疫组未检到病毒载量。以上结果显示LS-E2-pFc NP免疫组效果最好,中和抗体水平最高。这种“标记”疫苗可以对自然感染和免疫接种的动物进行鉴别诊断,有助于猪场净化猪瘟。

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to develop a nanoparticle vaccine targeting the E2 protein of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and analyze its immunogenicity. Using the E2 gene sequence of Shimen strain of CSFV as template, the human codon was optimized in its extracellular domain. E2, E2-pFc (fusion expression of E2 with Fc fragment of porcine antibody), SpyTag-E2 (fusion expression of E2 with SpyTag) and the nanoskeleton protein LS (Lumazine Synthase-protein A) were prepared by 293F mammal cell eukaryotic expression system. Nanoskeleton protein mi3 (mi3-SpyCatcher) was purified by prokaryotic expression system and then LS and mi3 assembled into nanoparticles LS-E2-pFc NP and mi3-E2 NP, which were identified by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering test, and each protein was emulsified with ISA201 adjuvant to prepare subunit vaccines. Thirty-five Japanese white rabbits (1.5-2.0 kg) were randomly divided into 7 groups. Blank control group (n=3), PBS negative control group (n=3), E2 group (n=5), E2-pFc group (n=5), LS-E2-pFc NP group (n=5), mi3-E2 NP group (n=5), and CSFV E2 commercial subunit vaccine group (n=3). On 0 d and 21 d, intramuscular immunization was administered, and on 42 d, CSFV C strain was challenged with 100 RID50 via ear vein. The specific antibody level, neutralizing antibody level, body temperature response and spleen viral load of rabbits were evaluated by blocking ELISA, neutralizing test, temperature monitoring and RT-qPCR. The results showed the successful expression of all component proteins, with single-band profiles and high purity. The average particle size of mi3-E2 nanoparticles (68 nm) was larger than mi3 (42.73 nm), and LS-E2-pFc nanoparticles (42.4 nm) was larger than LS (13 nm). Immunization results showed that E2, E2-pFc, LS-E2-pFc NP, mi3-E2 NP vaccine and commercial subunit vaccine all had good immune effect, and 7 days before challenge, the specific antibody blocking rate in serum was above 89%, with no significant difference between immunized groups (P>0.05). After challenge, the PBS negative control group showed typical stereotyped heat reaction, while the other immune groups showed no obvious changes in body temperature. Seven days post-challenge, the titers of neutralizing antibodies of E2, E2-pFc, LS-E2-pFc NP, mi3-E2 NP vaccine and commercial subunit vaccine groups were 1:10 392.4, 1:37 168.4, 1:75 473.6, 1:20 201.8 and 1:2 407, respectively, with the LS-E2-pFc NP group showing the highest neutralizing antibody levels. RT-qPCR results showed that one rabbit in the E2 group had a low viral load of 5.83 copies ·μL-1, while no viral load was detected in other immunized groups. The above results showed that LS-E2-pFc NP immunized group had the best effect and the highest titer of neutralizing antibody. This "marker" vaccine allows for differential diagnosis of naturally infected and vaccinated animals, helping to eradicate CSF in swine farms.
