鱼类细菌性感染作为十分常见且危害严重的一类水产病害,严重阻碍了我国水产养殖业的发展,同时也造成了巨大经济损失,而免疫防治作为一种安全有效的防治方法,正逐步受到人们的关注。外膜蛋白作为革兰氏阴性菌外膜的主要组成成分,不仅在维持细菌正常生命活动中发挥着重要作用,同时具有较强的免疫原性及交叉免疫原性,可以作为潜在的免疫保护性抗原,在渔用疫苗的研发中具有广阔的应用前景。该文介绍了鱼类病原菌外膜蛋白的结构组成、种类功能、免疫原性等基本特性,对外膜蛋白在亚单位疫苗、DNA疫苗、多价多联疫苗及活载体疫苗等渔用疫苗中的应用进行了论述,并从疫苗佐剂应用及铁离子相关外膜蛋白研究等方面展开讨论,以期为外膜蛋白渔用疫苗研发提供参考。     

细菌菌蜕作为新颖药物递送体系的研究进展

细菌菌蜕是革兰氏阴性菌被噬菌体PhiX174的裂解基因E裂解后形成的完整细菌空壳.由于它具有完整的细菌表面抗原结构,所以它能直接作为疫苗使用.利用基因工程手段,可以非常便利地将外源抗原蛋白插入菌蜕的内膜、外膜或周质等多个部位,构建重组菌蜕多价疫苗.目前,菌蜕作为新颖的药物递送体系也开始受到关注.利用菌蜕可以递送DNA和蛋白质疫苗以及其他药物,能较好地产生免疫反应和治疗作用.     

迟钝爱德华氏菌菌蜕系统的构建

菌蜕系统（Bacterial Ghost,BG）的形成是利用噬菌体PhiX174的裂解蛋白E在革兰阴性菌细胞膜形成一个跨膜孔道结构,使细菌胞内物质由孔道排出而引起死亡。这种基因灭活的过程不引起细菌表面结构的任何理化变性,因此生成的细菌空壳具有与活菌相同功能的膜抗原结构,可诱导机体的体液免疫和细胞免疫应答。检测和比较了在铁调控启动子PyncE和温度调控启动子PR/cI控制下的E基因对迟钝爱德华氏菌菌蜕系统（EBG）的生成效率。结果显示,2种启动子均能成功生成EBG,电镜下可观察到细菌两端有直径约为80～400 nm的孔洞。传统菌蜕系统所用的热启动子在诱导后3 h开始裂解,8 h后细菌停止死亡;而新型铁诱导启动子在诱导后2 h细菌即完全停止生长。本研究为将来开发菌蜕载体疫苗防治爱德华氏菌症奠定了基础。     

嗜水气单胞菌菌蜕的制备及其对银鲫的口服免疫

菌蜕系统是一个自身具有佐剂性质的新型疫苗体系,不含细胞质内容物但具有细菌的完整表面抗原结构,可诱导机体的体液、细胞免疫应答及增强黏膜免疫反应.本研究通过将带有裂解基因E的质粒pElysis转化至嗜水气单胞菌J-1株中,对Ah J-1(pElysis)进行温度诱导,温度从28℃升至42℃,每隔15min检测菌液的OD600值,测定其溶菌动力学,并做无菌检验,用扫描电镜观察裂解后的细菌形态,研究其作为口服疫苗对银鲫的效果.结果显示,通过温度诱导,嗜水气单胞菌J-1(pElysis)OD值在诱导30min后开始持续下降,75min时开始趋于平稳,到120min溶菌效率达99.99%,诱导16h后进行无菌检验,证实其无活菌.扫描电镜观察绝大部分菌体经诱导后形成菌蜕,细胞两端有溶菌通道.动物试验表明,用菌蜕口服免疫的银鲫,在第5周产生较高的凝集抗体,达到27,并能维持2周;而甲醛灭活苗组为26,维持时间仅一周;生理盐水对照组效价仅2.攻击试验表明,菌蜕疫苗组和甲醛灭活疫苗组对嗜水气单胞菌强毒株J.1的攻击均有保护作用,其相对保护率分别为16/20(78.95%)和12/20(57.9%),显示菌蜕疫苗比普通灭活疫苗能更有效地激活机体的免疫保护.     

迟缓爱德华菌抗独特型单克隆抗体的制备及鉴定

迟缓爱德华菌(Edwardsiella tarda)是肠杆菌科爱德华菌属的一种条件致病菌,可引起败血病,危害鲆、鲤等经济养殖鱼类。但是,经过20余年的研究,虽有各种灭活疫苗和组分疫苗的试验,却无针对该菌病的商品化疫苗的使用报道。抗独特型抗体疫苗技术已成功用于肿瘤、细菌、病毒、寄生虫的防治,具有安全、易大规模生产等优点。鉴于药物防治鱼菌病的局限性,作者在制备了抗迟缓爱德华菌单克隆抗体的基础上,制备抗该菌的抗独特型单克隆抗体,用该菌抗独特型抗体免疫牙鲆, 为预防该菌病提供一种安全有效的新方法。       

鱼类病原菌外膜蛋白及其免疫原性研究进展

细菌性疾病是水产养殖病害中最常见且危害甚为严重的一类疾病1。长期以来,一直用于鱼类细菌性疾病防治的西药类药物,由于会导致病原菌产生耐药性,在鱼体内产生药物残留危害人类健康等副作用而被限制使用2。因此,为了选择更加安全有效的防治方法,疫苗免疫逐步得到了人们的重视。       

利用展示尿素酶B表位的大肠杆菌菌蜕递送幽门螺杆菌核酸疫苗

探讨和分析了重组大肠杆菌菌蜕递送系统能否进一步提高幽门螺杆菌核酸疫苗的免疫应答水平.首先构建了展示尿素酶B表位的重组大肠杆菌菌蜕,然后以此菌蜕包裹幽门螺杆菌核酸疫苗pcDNAKAT,经DNA凝胶电泳、荧光显微镜观察和FACS分析,表明该质粒DNA可以非特异地结合到大肠杆菌菌蜕内膜上.该核酸疫苗经重组菌蜕包裹后免疫小鼠,其血清抗过氧化氢酶抗体效价由单独免疫时的1∶(307±39)提高到1∶(520±54),二者差异极显著(P=0.005 8),结果表明利用菌蜕递送系统能较好地提高核酸疫苗的免疫应答水平.     

重要水产养殖动物病原菌高效多价疫苗保护原的研究

以疫苗为核心的免疫防治是控治水产动物养殖业微生物病害的必由之路。鉴于水产养殖动物病原菌种类繁杂、血清型多样,同时从经济方面考虑也不可能对所有病原菌及其血清型逐一进行疫苗预防接种。因此,研制疫苗必须在思路和技术上进行创新。该文提出了以发展多价疫苗为思路的水产养殖动物细菌性疾病控制的新免疫预防措施,介绍了发现和鉴定多价疫苗候选功能靶位的研究思路和技术路线,展望了基于免疫层次抗原组学的新概念对系统深入研究天然高效多价保护原的良好前景。     

制备禽致病性大肠杆菌菌蜕的三种方法比较

菌蜕(Bacterial ghosts)是一种只含有细菌内、外膜结构的细菌空壳,可作为新型疫苗和传递载体。本研究通过3种方式制备禽致病性大肠杆菌(Avian pathogenicity Escherichia coli,APEC)分离株DE17的菌蜕,评价不同的菌蜕制备方法。结果表明,利用噬菌体Phi X174的裂解基因E构建的溶菌质粒pBV220-E制备DE17菌蜕,对DE17菌株裂解率可达99.9%,扫描电镜观测结果表明,在DE17两端或中部形成可见的跨膜孔道,呈现典型的菌蜕结构。利用合成的细胞穿透肽MAP(KLALKLALKALKAALKLA)作用于DE17制备菌蜕,结果表明,10μmol/L的MAP可实现对OD_(600)=0.1的DE17完全灭活,扫描电镜虽未看到明显的跨膜孔道,但细菌的膜结构呈现沟壑状,而构建的可表达MAP的溶菌质粒pBV220-MAP并不能实现对DE17的裂解作用。本研究通过比较分析不同APEC菌蜕的制备方式,为进一步研究菌蜕疫苗和提高菌蜕疫苗的生物安全性提供参考。

On the origin of the Hirudinea and the demise of the Oligochaeta

The phylogenetic relationships of the Clitellata were investigated with a data set of published and new complete 18S rRNA gene sequences of 51 species representing 41 families. Sequences were aligned on the basis of a secondary structure model and analysed with maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood. In contrast to the latter method, parsimony did not recover the monophyly of Clitellata. However, a close scrutiny of the data suggested a spurious attraction between some polychaetes and clitellates. As a rule, molecular trees are closely aligned with morphology-based phylogenies. Acanthobdellida and Euhirudinea were reconciled in their traditional Hirudinea clade and were included in the Oligochaeta with the Branchiobdellida via the Lumbriculidae as a possible link between the two assemblages. While the 18S gene yielded a meaningful historical signal for determining relationships within clitellates, the exact position of Hirudinea and Branchiobdellida within oligochaetes remained unresolved. The lack of phylogenetic signal is interpreted as evidence for a rapid radiation of these taxa. The placement of Clitellata within the Polychaeta remained unresolved. The biological reality of polytomies within annelids is suggested and supports the hypothesis of an extremely ancient radiation of polychaetes and emergence of clitellates.     

On the ontogeny of the haptor and the evolution of the Monogenea

Data on the ontogeny of the posterior haptor of monogeneans were obtained from more than 150 publications and summarised. These data were plotted into diagrams showing evolutionary capacity levels based on the theory of a progressive evolution of marginal hooks, anchors and other attachment components of the posterior haptor in the Monogenea (Malmberg, 1986). 5 + 5 unhinged marginal hooks are assumed to be the most primitive monogenean haptoral condition. Thus the diagrams were founded on a 5 + 5 unhinged marginal hook evolutionary capacity level, and the evolutionary capacity levels of anchors and other haptoral attachement components were arranged according to haptoral ontogenetical sequences. In the final plotting diagram data on hosts, type of spermatozoa, oncomiracidial ciliation, sensilla pattern and protonephridial systems were also included. In this way a number of correlations were revealed. Thus, for example, the number of 5 + 5 marginal hooks correlates with the most primitive monogenean type of spermatozoon and with few sensillae, many ciliated cells and a simple protonephridial system in the oncomiracidium. On the basis of the reviewed data it is concluded that the ancient monogeneans with 5 + 5 unhinged marginal hooks were divided into two main lines, one retaining unhinged marginal hooks and the other evolving hinged marginal hooks. Both main lines have recent representatives at different marginal hook evolutionary capacity levels, i.e. monogeneans retaining a haptor with only marginal hooks. For the main line with hinged marginal hooks the name Articulon-choinea n. subclass is proposed. Members with 8 + 8 hinged marginal hooks only are here called Proanchorea n. superord. Monogeneans with unhinged marginal hooks only are here called Ananchorea n. superord. and three new families are erected for its recent members: Anonchohapteridae n. fam., Acolpentronidae n. fam. and Anacanthoridae n. fam. (with 7 + 7, 8 + 8 and 9 + 9 unhinged marginal hooks, respectively). Except for the families of Articulonchoinea (e.g. Acanthocotylidae, Gyrodactylidae, Tetraonchoididae) Bychowsky's (1957) division of the Monogenea into the Oligonchoinea and Polyonchoinea fits the proposed scheme, i.e. monogeneans with unhinged marginal hooks form one old group, the Oligonchoinea, which have 5 + 5 unhinged marginal hooks, and the other group form the Polyonchoinea, which (with the exception of the Hexabothriidae) has a greater number (7 + 7, 8 + 8 or 9 + 9) of unhinged marginal hooks. It is proposed that both these names, Oligonchoinea (sensu mihi) and Polyonchoinea (sensu mihi), will be retained on one side and Articulonchoinea placed on the other side, which reflects the early monogenean evolution. Except for the members of Ananchorea [Polyonchoinea], all members of the Oligonchoinea and Polyonchoinea have anchors, which imply that they are further evolved, i.e. have passed the 5 + 5 marginal hook evolutionary capacity level (Malmberg, 1986). There are two main types of anchors in the Monogenea: haptoral anchors, with anlages appearing in the haptor, and peduncular anchors, with anlages in the peduncle. There are two types of haptoral anchors: peripheral haptoral anchors, ontogenetically the oldest, and central haptoral anchors. Peduncular anchors, in turn, are ontogenetically younger than peripheral haptoral anchors. There may be two pairs of peduncular anchors: medial peduncular anchors, ontogentically the oldest, and lateral peduncular anchors. Only peduncular (not haptoral) anchors have anchor bars. Monogeneans with haptoral anchors are here called Mediohaptanchorea n. superord. and Laterohaptanchorea n. superord. or haptanchoreans. All oligonchoineans and the oldest polyonchoineans are haptanchoreans. Certain members of Calceostomatidae [Polyonchoinea] are the only monogeneans with both (peripheral) haptoral and peduncular anchors (one pair). These monogeneans are here called Mixanchorea n. superord. Polyonchoineans with peduncular anchors and unhinged marginal hooks are here called the Pedunculanchorea n. superord. The most primitive pedunculanchoreans have only one pair of peduncular anchors with an anchor bar, while the most advanced have both medial and lateral peduncular anchors; each pair having an anchor bar. Certain families of the Articulonchoinea, the Anchorea n. superord., also have peduncular anchors (parallel evolution): only one family, the Sundanonchidae n. fam., has both medial and lateral peduncular anchors, each anchor pair with an anchor bar. Evolutionary lines from different monogenean evolutionary capacity levels are discussed and a new system of classification for the Monogenea is proposed.In agreeing to publish this article, I recognise that its contents are controversial and contrary to generally accepted views on monogenean systematics and evolution. I have anticipated a reaction to the article by inviting senior workers in the field to comment upon it: their views will be reported in a future issue of this journal.
