猪瘟病毒结构蛋白Erns在E.Coli中的高效表达及纯化

猪瘟(Classical swine fever,CSF)是由猪瘟病毒(Classical swinefever virus,CSFV)引起的猪的高度接触性传染病,是严重危害养猪业的传染病之一.CSFV基因组为单股正链RNA分子,长约12.3kb,仅编码一个开放性阅读框.位于5'端的囊膜糖蛋白Erns、E1和E2构成了CSFV的外壳,其中Erns和E2参与病毒感染细胞的过程,并能诱导宿主产生保护性免疫应答[1].目前研究的CSFV基因工程疫苗主要以E2蛋白作为抗原,并通过检测Erns的抗体来区分E2标记疫苗免疫猪和野毒感染猪,有利于剔除猪群中潜在的传染源,达到最终消灭猪瘟的目的.氨基酸序列比较发现,CSFV的Erns氨基酸序列中有地衣类与植物核苷酸酶家族的特征序列,属于胞外RNase家族,具有RNase活性,Erns可降解病毒和细胞的RNA,在研究CSFV的致病机制方面具有重要意义[2].本研究利用RT-nPCR技术,克隆到了Erns基因,并利用大肠杆菌表达系统高效表达了Erns蛋白,纯化后的蛋白具有良好的生物学活性,为进一步建立Erns抗体的检测方法和探讨Erns蛋白在CSFV致病过程中的作用奠定了基础.     

猪瘟病毒与宿主天然免疫系统的相互作用

猪瘟(Classical swine fever,CSF)是由猪瘟病毒(Classical swine fever virus,CSFV)感染引起的一种高度接触性传染病,临床上以出血综合征与免疫抑制为主要特征。它在多个国家流行,给中国乃至世界养猪业造成巨大的经济损失。研究表明,猪瘟病毒感染能够诱导宿主的天然免疫应答,也能通过影响天然免疫效应分子的表达来抑制宿主的天然免疫功能。本文将对猪瘟病毒感染与天然免疫应答及其免疫抑制的现象与机理进行综述。     

针对猪瘟病毒E2蛋白的嵌合猪源化单克隆抗体的表达及抗病毒活性鉴定

猪瘟(Classical swine fever,CSF)是严重危害养猪业的一种烈性传染病,常造成巨大的经济损失,是世界动物卫生组织要求必须申报的动物疫病之一。猪瘟的病原是猪瘟病毒(Classical swine fever virus,CSFV),CSFV的结构蛋白由衣壳蛋白(C)和囊膜糖蛋白(E~(rns)、E1、E2)构成。E2蛋白是CSFV主要的保护性抗原,可以诱导机体产生中和抗体,从而抵抗CSFV的感染。此前,本团队制备了一株针对CSFV E2蛋白的鼠源单克隆抗体HQ06。文中将HQ06抗体重链和轻链可变区基因与猪源恒定区基因嵌合后克隆至真核表达载体,利用中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞制备一株针对CSFV E2蛋白的嵌合猪源化单克隆抗体c HQ06。应用ELISA、Western blotting试验证实了c HQ06与CSFV E2蛋白具有良好的反应性;中和试验结果表明c HQ06可以中和CSFV。综上所述,本研究应用CHO细胞稳定表达了具有良好反应性和中和活性的针对CSFV E2蛋白的嵌合猪源化单克隆抗体c HQ06,为研究CSFV E2蛋白结构、功能以及开发新型的CSFV诊断和治疗制剂奠定基础。     

猪瘟病毒C株兔脾毒在SK6细胞中的增殖培养及其鉴定

猪瘟病毒(Classical swine fever virus,CSFV)是猪的最重要传染病之一,给养猪业造成巨大经济损失.传统疫苗C株在猪瘟防制中曾发挥了巨大作用,但由于猪瘟病毒逐渐产生变异,同时使用传统疫苗无法区分自然感染动物和免疫动物,从而使传统疫苗的应用受阻.因此十分必要研制新型猪瘟疫苗.用适宜的宿主细胞培养猪瘟传统弱毒疫苗C株,通过灵敏可靠的方法检测病毒在宿主细胞中的感染,是研究猪瘟病毒C株的一个重要基础环节.     

基于Erns和E2基因的猪瘟标记疫苗研究概述

猪瘟(Classical swine fever,CSF)是猪的一种急性、热性和致死性传染病。该病流行范围很广,而且致死率极高,给世界养猪业造成严重危害。目前,猪瘟流行地区或国家仍然采用接种弱毒疫苗的方法作为预防猪瘟的主要策略,但接种弱毒疫苗的传统预防控制方法无法区别猪瘟疫苗免疫抗体和野毒感染抗体。为了净化、消灭猪瘟,新型标记疫苗的研究已迫在眉睫。近些年,陆续有国内外研究者应用分子生物学和基因工程方法,对猪瘟野毒株或弱毒株进行基因修饰构建出新毒株,其中以Erns和E2为基础构建新毒株的方法占据着重要地位。部分候选疫苗具有较好的免疫效果,可用于区分免疫和自然感染动物,而且有望作为新一代疫苗来替代传统弱毒疫苗。

Glycoprotein Erns of pestiviruses induces apoptosis in lymphocytes of several species.

Classical swine fever virus and bovine virus diarrhea virus are members of the genus pestivirus, which belongs to the family of the Flaviviridae. Recently, envelope glycoprotein Erns was identified as an RNase. RNases can express different biological actions. They have been shown to be neurotoxic, antihelminthic, and immunosuppressive. We studied the immunosuppressive properties of Erns in vitro. The glycoprotein totally inhibited concanavalin A-induced proliferation of porcine, bovine, ovine, and human lymphocytes. We then studied the direct cytotoxic effects of Erns on lymphocytes and epithelial cells in protein synthesis assays. Erns strongly inhibited the protein synthesis of lymphocytes of different species, without cell membrane damage. This suggested an apoptotic process, and indeed apoptosis of lymphocytes was detected after incubation with Erns. Pestivirus infections are characterized by leukopenia and immunosuppression. Our results suggest that Erns plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pestiviruses.

Expression of Major Antigen Domains of Gene of E2 CSFV and Analysis of its Immunological Activity

E2 is an envelope glycoprotein of Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and contains sequential neutralizing epitopes to induce virus-neutralizing antibodies and mount protective immunity in the natural host. In this study, four antigen domains (ABCD) of the E2 gene was cloned from CSFV Shimen strain into the retroviral vector pBABE puro and expressed in eukaryotic cell (PK15) by an retroviral gene expression system, and the activity of recombinant E2 protein to induce immune responses was evaluated in rabbits. The results indicated that recombinant E2 protein can be recognized by fluorescence antibodies of CSFV and CSFV positive serum (Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Lanzhou, China) using Western blot, indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT) and ELISA, Furthermore, anti-CSFV specific antibodies and lymphocyte proliferation were elicited and increased by recombinant protein after vaccination. In the challenge test, all of rabbits vaccinated with recombinant protein and Chinese vaccine strain (C-strain) were fully protected from a rabbit spleen virus challenge. These results indicated that a retroviral-based epitope-vaccine carrying the major antigen domains of E2 is able to induce high level of epitope-specific antibodies and exhibits similar protective capability with that induced by the C-strain, and encourages further work towards the development of a vaccine against CSFV infection.
