猪霍乱沙门氏菌C500株△crp△asd缺失株平衡致死载体系统的构建及鉴定

Construction and Characterization of △crp△asd Mutant Host-Vector Balanced Lethal System of Salmonella choleraesuis C500 Strain

猪霍乱沙门氏菌C500株是用化学方法致弱、用于预防仔猪副伤寒的弱毒疫苗株,虽具有较好的免疫原性,但仍有一定的残余毒力。为了研制更加安全并保持C500株良好免疫原性的弱毒株,及将C500开发为适于粘膜免疫的疫苗活载体,本文构建了猪霍乱沙门氏菌C500株△crp△asd双缺失株平衡致死载体系统。首先构建含缺失320bp的crp(cAMP受体蛋白)基因与蔗糖敏感基因(sacB)的重组自杀性质粒,与C500接合转移,两步法筛选无抗性的△crp缺失株,用PCR证实基因组crp基因的缺失突变。用同样方法在crp缺失株基础上构建asd(天冬氨酸β-半乳糖脱氢酶)基因缺失株。该缺失株生长必需外源DAP(二氨基庚二酸)。进一步鉴定△crp缺失株的表型、生长特性、毒力等,结果表明△crp△asd缺失株构建成功。△crp△asd缺失株可以用来作为宿主载体平衡致死系统来高效表达外源基因,为深入研究以C500株为载体的口服多价疫苗奠定了基础。

Salmonella choleraesuis C500 strain was an attenuated vaccine strain to prevent piglet paratyphoid, attenuated by chemical method. Although the vaccine has good immunogenicity, it remains some residual virulence. In order to develop a safer vaccine strain and exploit C500 as a live vaccine vector for mucosal immunization, △crp△ asd double deletion mutant was constructed. Firstly, the recombination suicide vector with 320 bp-deleted crp （cAMP receptor protein） gene and sacB （sucrosesensitive gene） gene was constructed and conjugated with C500. The unmarked crp deleted strain without resistance was selected by two-step method and crp deletion on the genome was determined by PCR. Then the asd （β-aspartic semialdehyde dehydrogenase） gene was further deleted in the △ crp strain by the same method. Foreign DAP （diaminopimelic acid） must be supplied for △ crp △ asd mutant to grow. The phenotype, growth properties and virulence in mice of △crp mutant were further characterized. In conclusion, the △crp △asd double-deletion mutant was successfully constructed. The △ crp△ asd mutant can be used as a live vector to express foreign genes and to develop potential oral multivalent vaccines.
