Methods: The LT-B coding sequence was amplified from pMMB68 by PCR, subcloned into middle vector pUCmT and binary vector pBI121 to obtain plant expression vector pBI-LTB, in which LT-B expression was controlled under the Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. The tobacco plants (Nicotiana tobacum L.Cuttivar Xanthi) were transformed by co-cultivating leaf discs method via Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 harboring the plant expression vector. The regenerated transgenic tobacco plants were selected by kanamycin and confirmed by PCR, Southern blot, Western blot and ELISA. Results:LT-B gene integrated in the tobacco genomic DNA and were expressed in 9 strains of transgenic tobacco plants. The yield was varied from 3.36-10.56 ng/mg total soluble tobacco leaf protein. Conclusion: The plant binary expression vector pBI-LTB was constructed successfully, and transgenic LT-B tobacco plants was generated, and confirmed by Southern blot. The protein LT-B expressed by engineered plants was identified by Western blot analysis and had the expected molecular weight of LT-B pentamer protein. This result is an important step close to developing an edible vaccine and supplying a mucasal immunoajuvant, which will contribute to the prevention of mucosa-route evading pathogen.展开更多

The three parts(Stx17B, Stx27B and StxB) of Shiga toxin B subunit have been fused into a cell surface exposed loop of the LamB protein at a BamH I site between residues 153 and 154.

Western blotting revealed that the three parts of Shiga toxin B subunit could be expressed as the Lamb fusion proteins in E. coli. Indirect immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy analyses showed fusion proteins LamB/Stx17B and LamB/Stx27B could be expressed at cell surface in E. coli, but fusion protein LamB/StxB could not be expressed at cell surface; it was aggregated in cytoplasm and was toxic to host. This expression system provided a new way to construct an oral live vaccine against Shigella dysenteriae 1.展开更多
