目的:用直接偶联法构建新型蛋白兔抗人IgGCRM9.方法:分别应用异型双功能连接剂(m Maleimido benzoyl N hydoxysuccinimideester,MBS)和N琥珀酰亚胺3(2吡啶二巯基)丙酸盐(SPDP)将兔抗人IgG多抗和白喉毒素突变体(CRM9)进行连接,制备出新...目的:用直接偶联法构建新型蛋白兔抗人IgGCRM9.方法:分别应用异型双功能连接剂(m Maleimido benzoyl N hydoxysuccinimideester,MBS)和N琥珀酰亚胺3(2吡啶二巯基)丙酸盐(SPDP)将兔抗人IgG多抗和白喉毒素突变体(CRM9)进行连接,制备出新的蛋白.结合后的蛋白经SephacrylS300分离纯化,用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳和琼脂糖电泳证明二者的结合情况.采用酶联免疫法检测IgG与CRM9按不同比例反应后所构建的蛋白复合体中抗体部分的活性.结果:用MBS连接剂连接IgG与CRM9后的产物经聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳显示出的条带明显滞后于IgG所显示的条带,而在琼脂糖凝胶电泳中IgG与CRM9混合反应的样品所显示的两条条带均与IgG和CRM9单独所在的条带一致.酶联免疫实验测得的各组A450nm值表明,IgG与CRM9按1∶1和1∶3两种比例制备的样品对抗体活性影响最小,而按1∶5和1∶两种比例制备的蛋白,抗体活性受到很大的抑制.结论:兔抗人IgG与CRM9可以通过MBS结合,二者在1∶1~1∶3之间的比例时,可以有较好的连接,而且对抗体活性的影响最小.SP DP则不适用于本实验中的两种蛋白的连接.这将为免疫毒素的新型连接提供有效的方法.展开更多

Recently, the Plasmodium apoptosis-linked pathogenicity factors (PALPF) have been identified. These antigens PALPF are expressed only by P falciparum-infected erythrocytes triggering endothelial cell apoptosis (apoptogenic). Methods: We designed ten synthetic peptides (PI to P10) from PALPF: PF07 0032, PF10_0226, PFI0130c, PFD0875c and MAL13P1.206, and analyzed their antigenicity with an ELISA method using plasma samples from subjects living in Dienga, Gabon. Results: Four peptides showed good reactivity with human antibodies. The prevalence rate of specific IgG was 61%, 51%, 44% and 34% for P5, P6, P4 and P2, respectively. The median optical density of total IgG anti-P2 was higher than that directed against P4 and P6 (P = 0.009; P = 0.012 respectively). The prevalence rate oflgG subclasses determined with plasma samples recognizing peptide 5 for IgGl, 2, 3 and 4 isotypes was 69%, 45%, 76% and 62%, respectively. All the subjects had at least one immunoglobulin subclass, while 13 (44%) had both IgG1 and IgG3 antibodies. There was no significant difference in the prevalence rate of anti-P5 IgG1, IgG3 and IgG4. Conclusion: These results warrant further immunogenicity studies of peptides 2, 4, 5 and 6 with a view of a tentative to antimalarial vaccine development.展开更多
