嗜水气单胞菌外膜蛋白基因DNA疫苗载体的构建及分析

Construction and Characterization of DNA Vaccine for Major Outer Membrane Protein Gene of Aeromonas hydrophila

为构建嗜水气单胞菌的DNA疫苗载体,根据已发表的该菌外膜蛋白基因momp的核苷酸序列设计一对特异性引物,应用PCR技术,扩增到嗜水气单胞菌L316的主要外膜蛋白基因,并插入到真核表达载体pcDNA3上,构建成DNA疫苗,命名为pcDNA3-POMP。以纯化的原核表达蛋白GST-POMP免疫SD大鼠制备抗血清,用ELISA测定抗体效价达到1∶100 000以上;用pcDNA3-POMP质粒转染293细胞,转染48h后收集细胞,提取细胞的RNA进行RT-PCR,检测到外源基因的表达。至此,初步完成嗜水气单胞菌DNA疫苗表达载体的构建,为进一步疫苗免疫和效价的检测奠定基础。

For constructing the DNA vaccine , a pair of specific PCR primers were designed according to the nucleotide sequence of Aeromonas hydrophila major outer membrane protein gene published by our lab previously . The PCR products were inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA 3 to construct a DNA vaccine named pcDNA3-POMP . SD rats were immunized with purified prokaryotic-expressed protein GST-POMP to make antiserum ,whose antibody titer ,measured by ELISA ,was over 1 ∶ 100 000 .293 cells were transfected with pcDNA3-POMP ,48 hours after transfection ,the cells were collected for total RNA extraction and RT-PCR ,and the expression of exogenous momp were detected .Therefore ,we have constructed a plasmid of DNA vaccine for Aeromonas hydrophila ,vaccination and evaluation of this DNA vaccine will be studied in the future .
