呼吸道合胞病毒重组蛋白候选疫苗的质粒构建、表达及免疫原性和保护性研究

PCR扩增呼吸道合胞病毒（respiratory syncytial virus，RSV）M2 蛋白的CD8＋T细胞表位F/M2:81-95和RSV-G蛋白的B细胞表位片段G:125～225（简称G1），以一个Linker连接，插入质粒pET-DsbA中构建原核表达重组质粒, 转染E.coli BL21(DE3)后成功表达了融合蛋白DsbA-G1-Linker-F/M2:81-95（简称D-G1LF/M2），Western-blot结果表明该融合蛋白是RSV特异性的，采用Ni+螯合亲和层析法纯化变性的包涵体溶液，经梯度透析法复性，用该蛋白免疫BALB/c小鼠，结果表明被免疫小鼠肺部及血清中产生了高滴度的抗D-G1LF/M2及抗RSV IgG抗体和中和抗体，同时还诱导产生了RSV特异性的CTL应答；IgG的亚型IgG1/IgG2a的比值为2.66；用RSV攻击免疫后的小鼠，病毒滴定法检测肺部RSV滴度，结果表明D-G1LF/M2对小鼠肺部具有保护作用。

Plasmid Construction, Expression, Immunogenicity and Protective Efficacy of Recombinant Protein Candidate Vaccine of Respiratory Syncytial Virus

To construct plasmid of recombinant protein candidate vaccine of respiratory syncytial virus, express it in E. coli, and to investigate its immunogenicity and protective efficacy. A CD8+ T cell epitope from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) M2 protein F/M2:81 - 95 and the G:125-225 (G1) gene fragments from RSV-G protein containing B cell epitopes were amplified by PCR method and then inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-DsbA after bonding to a linker. The fusion protein DsbA-G1-Linker-F/M2:81-95 (D-G1LF/M2) was expressed successfully in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The product was proved to be RSV-specific by Western-blot. After purified by affinity chromatography on Ni+ Sepharose and renatured by gradient dialysis. D-G1LF/M2 was used to immune BALB/c mice. D-G1LF/M2 induced high anti-D-G1LF/M2 IgG, anti-RSV IgG and neutralizing antibody titers in serum and lung of BALB/c mice, and elicied RSV-specific CTL responses. The IgG subclass distribution revealed that IgG1/IgG2a ratio was 2.66. Viral titration indicated that D-G1LF/M2 could protect BALB/c mice against RSV challenge in lung.
