The recombinant VHHs have a high potential as alternative reagents for the next generation of immunoassay. In particular, they might be very useful for molecular mimicry. The present study demonstrated an alpaca immunized with the F（ab＇）z fragment of anti-aflatoxin B1 mAb and developed an important anti-idiotypic （anti-ld） responses. Antigen-specific elution method was used for panning private anti-ld VHHs from the constructed alpaca VHH library. The selected VHHs were expressed, renatured, purified, and then identified by a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Our findings indicated that the VHH would be an alternative tool for haptens mimicry studies.展开更多

Methods: 80 SPF-cleaned mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, 20 each, model group, tinidazole group and recombinant human osteoprotegerin group were modeled by Kimura et al., and tinidazole group received tinidazole. After intragastric administration, the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group was injected with recombinant human osteoprotegerin in the periodontal pocket according to the tinidazole group. The periodontal changes of the four groups of mice were observed and recorded, and the gingival rating was performed. Epithelial tissue morphology was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Serum levels of IL-4, IL-6, RANKL and MCP-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results:After the intervention, the model group developed severe inflammatory reactions, including redness, hemorrhage, and deep periodontal pockets. The teeth were significantly loosened. The mice in the tinidazole group and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group recovered substantially, and the gingival rating of the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group was better than that. The tinidazole group and the model group (P<0.05). The results of HE staining showed that the model group had edema, vasodilation and a large amount of inflammatory infiltration. The epithelial structure of the mice in the tinidazole group and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group was intact and arranged closely and orderly. After intervention, the IL-4 in the tinidazole group and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group was significantly higher than the model group and IL-6 was significantly lower than the model group (P<0.05), and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group IL-4 was significantly higher after the intervention. IL-6 was significantly lower in the tinidazole group than in the tinidazole group (P<0.05). After the intervention, the tinidazole group and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group were significantly reduced, and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group RAKNL and MCP-1 were significantly lower than the model group (P>0.05). Conclusion: Recombinant human osteoprotegerin combined with tinidazole has a better therapeutic effect on gums and teeth in mice with periodontitis, and can lower the levels of RAKNL and MCP-1 in serum, inhibit bone resorption and protect teeth.展开更多
