猪霍乱沙门菌载体介导猪瘟病毒DNA免疫研究

Salmonella choleraesuis C500 Delivering DNA Immunization Against Classical Swine Fever Virus

构建了猪瘟病毒(CSFV)主要保护性抗原E2基因的真核表达质粒pVAXE2。将其电转化猪霍乱沙门氏菌C500疫苗株,得到了携带pVAXE2质粒的猪霍乱沙门氏菌工程菌株S.C500pVAXE2,对该菌株的特征、培养特性和生化特性进行了鉴定。分别用1×108CFU、2×109CFUS.C500pVAXE2经口服或肌肉注射免疫小鼠和家兔,间接ELISA检测免疫动物的特异性抗体,在第三次免疫后2周用20ID50猪瘟兔化弱毒和致死量猪霍乱沙门氏菌强毒株对免疫兔进行攻击。结果表明,S.C500pVAXE2保持了猪霍乱沙门氏菌原有形态特征、培养特性和生化特性,免疫鼠和兔都产生了抗CSFV和猪霍乱沙门菌的ELISA抗体,免疫家兔能抵抗猪瘟兔化弱毒株和猪霍乱沙门氏菌强毒株的攻击。显示了以S.C500为DNA运输载体构建二联或多联猪用疫苗的可行性。

Classical Swine Fever Virus （CSFV） E2 protein eukaryotic expression plasmid pVAXE2 was constructed. The plasmid pVAXE2 was transformed into Salmonella cholernesuis C500 （S. C500） attenuated vaccine strain by electroporation to generate Salmonella cholernesuis engineering strain S. C500/pVAXE2. The characterization of S. C500/pVAXE2 in morphology, growth, biochemistry and serology indicated that it retained the same properties as its original strain S. C500 with exception of kanamycin resistance originated from the plasmid pVAXE2. The plasmid stable in the bacteria after 15 passages. Kunming mice and rabbits were vaccinated three times at two weeks interval with S. C500/pVAXE2 in oral and intramuscular routes at the dosage of 1 x 10SCFU for mice and 2×10^9CFU for rabbits each time. The specific antibody response against CSFV and Salmonella choleraesuis was detected by ELISA. Two weeks after the third boost the immunized rabbits were challenged with 20 ID50 of hog cholera lapinized virus （HCLV）, followed by a virulent strain of Salmonella choleraesuis two week later than HCLV challenge. The results showed that all immunized mice and rabbits produced significant antibodies against CSFV and Salmonella choler aesuis, and the immunized rabbits demonstrated the effective protection against the challenge of HCLV and virulent Salmonella choleraesuis. These results indicated the potential of developing multiplex swine DNA vaccine by using this bacteria as the vector.
