重组表达猪圆环病毒2型衣壳蛋白的抗原特性分析

将猪圆环病毒2型(PCV2 )去核定位信号衣壳蛋白(Nuclearlocalizationsignal_defectedcapsidprotein ,dCap)与谷胱甘肽_S_转移酶(GST)融合,在大肠杆菌中表达,经纯化和凝血酶剪切分别获得纯化的GST_dCap融合蛋白和dCap蛋白,Westernblot结果表明二者都能与猪抗PCV2血清发生特异性反应。dCap蛋白免疫小鼠制备的单克隆抗体,不仅能特异地与GST_dCap融合蛋白、dCap蛋白和纯化的PCV2粒子发生反应,而且能特异地与PK_15细胞内的PCV2病毒颗粒发生反应,其中抗dCap蛋白的单克隆抗体4C4、3F6和2G7具有阻止病毒感染细胞的能力。表明原核表达的dCap蛋白完全或部分正确模拟了PCV2天然衣壳蛋白的构像,PCV2衣壳蛋白存在阻止PCV2病毒感染细胞的功能性表位。同时重组PCV2dCap蛋白的获得为进一步研究Cap蛋白晶体结构和将重组的dCap蛋白作为抗原建立血清学诊断试剂及疫苗研究提供了基础

Antigenic analysis of the recombinant capsid protein of porcine circovirus type 2

The nuclear localization signal (NLS)_defected capsid protein gene (dCap) of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was expressed firstly inEscherichia colias a fusion protein with glutathioneS_transferase (rGST_dCap protein). The purified rGST_dCap protein and NLS_defectedCap protein of PCV2 (rdCap protein) from the purified rGST_dCap protein reacted specifically with swine antiserum to PCV2. Furthermore, the obtained monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to rdCap protein were shown to bind to PCV2 particles replicated in PK15 cell. MAbs to rdCap protein also revealed the neutralizing ability to PCV2 particles. These results demonstrate that rGST_dCap protein expressed inE.coli is folded correctly or at least partly, and all mAbs to rdCap protein possess the binding epitopes of PCV2 particle whereas mAbs 4C4,3F6 and 2G7 to rdCap protein keep the neutralization epitopes of PCV2 particle, showing a potential of rGST_dCap protein as a vaccine antigen or serodiagnostic reagent.
