旋毛形线虫分泌抗原P53的序列分析及重组表达产物的免疫学鉴定

Sequence analysis of secretory antigen P53 and immunological identification of the recombinant product of Trichinella spiralis

目的 分析旋毛形线虫分泌抗原P53的免疫学特性,评价其免疫诊断价值.方法 克隆并测序分析旋毛形线虫P53的编码区序列,应用生物信息学分析其与其他蠕虫同源蛋白的相似性以及潜在的线性B细胞和T细胞表位;并将成熟肽编码区克隆至pET28a（＋）原核表达质粒中,纯化的重组蛋白用旋毛形线虫感染血清和其他寄生蠕虫感染血清经Western印迹法鉴定其免疫反应性.结果 生物信息学分析未发现其他寄生蠕虫的P53同源基因,表明TsP53具有多个T细胞和B细胞识别表位,Western印迹法显示TsP53抗原只与旋毛形线虫感染血清反应,与其他几种蠕虫感染血清无反应.结论 P53具有良好的抗原性,是非常有前景的旋毛形线虫特异性诊断抗原.

Objective To analyze the immunological characteristics of Trichinella spiralis secretory antigen P53 and to evaluate its value in diagnosis of trichinellosis. Methods An open read frame of secretory antigen P53 was cloned from Trichinella spiralis by reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） and then sequenced. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to search for its homologues in other helminths and predict its potential linear B cell epitopes and T cell epitopes. The sequence coding mature peptide was inserted into prokaryotic expression vector pET28a（＋） and the purified recombinant product was identified by Western blot using serum samples of patients infected with Trichinella spiralis or other helminth. Results Bioinformaties analysis results showed that there was no P53 homologue in other helminths, which indicated that there were many linear B cell epitopes and T cell epitopes in TsP53. The recombinant P53 antigen only reacted with the serum samples of patients infected with Trichinella spiralis without any cross-reaction with the serum of patients infected with other helminths. Conclusion P53 has strong immunogenicity and immunoreactivity, which may be a promising candidate for developing Trichinella spiralis specific diagnostic method.
