Antibody responses to purified protein derivate PPD of tuberculin and to antigens MPB63 and MPB83 of Mycobacterium bovis were determined in bovine herd (94 adult animals). Statistical approach based on approximation by multiple Gaussians with Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for analysis of antibody level distribution against antigens examined was provided. Our results confirm that indirect ELISA with recombinant MPB83 and MPB63 as well as conventional PPD could be used for test-systems development for detection of cow tuberculosis infection at the herd level. 相似文献

Immunodominant MPB83 antigen from Mycobacterium bovis was expressed as a chimeric protein fused to either β-galactosidase, outer membrane lipoprotein OMP19 or periplasmic protein BP26 in gram-negative Brucella abortus S19, in all cases driven by each gene's own promoter. All fusion proteins were successfully expressed and localized in the expected subcellular fraction. Moreover, OMP19-MPB83 was processed as a lipoprotein when expressed in B. abortus. Splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with the recombinant S19 strains carrying the genes coding for the heterologous antigens in replicative plasmids, showed equally specific INF-γ production in response to MPB83 stimulation. Association to the lipid moiety of OMP19 presented no advantage in terms of immunogenicity for MPB83. In contrast, fusion to BP26, which was encoded by an integrative plasmid, resulted in a weaker immune response. None of the constructions affected the survival rate or the infection pattern of Brucella. We concluded that B. abortus S19 is an appropriate candidate for the expression of M. bovis antigens both associated to the membrane or cytosolic fraction and may provide the basis for a future combined vaccine for bovine brucellosis and tuberculosis. 相似文献

In this study White Leghorn cockerels were sensitized with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and/or bovine gammaglobulin (BGG). The migration of spleen cells from chickens with delayed dermal hypersensitivity to PPD was markedly inhibited in the presence of PPD but not by BGG. When birds were made doubly sensitive to mycobacteria and BGG, the migration of their spleen cells was inhibited by both antigens. Cells from animals immunized to produce high levels of circulating antibody to BGG were not inhibited in the presence of antigen. Sensitive spleen cells incubated with specific antigen elaborated a substance into the medium which inhibited the migration of normal cells. The results of these experiments indicate that the delayed hypersensitive response in birds parallels that of the mammal in that it is antigen specific, reproducible, independent of the antibody response, and transferable to normal cells with a soluble cell-free product. 相似文献

The goal of the present work was to develop reagents with potential for tuberculosis diagnosis. Genetic sequences of Mycobacterium tuberculosis secretion antigens were amplified by PCR, cloned into the Gateway® system, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant M. tuberculosis proteins were purified by metal affinity chromatography and preparative gel SDS-PAGE electrophoresis followed by electroelution and removal of endotoxins using Triton X-114. In total, seven recombinant proteins were obtained (ESAT-6, CFP10, TB10.3, TB10.4, MTSP11, MPT70, and MPT83). Delayed hypersensitivity reactions (DHR) was evaluated in Cavia porcellus and compared to the response using a standard purified protein derivative (PPD). All seven recombinant proteins produced a positive induration reaction in an intradermal test in guinea pigs previously sensitized with M. tuberculosis. When applied together, at a concentration of each recombinant protein 0.04 mg/mL, the intradermoreaction in C. porcellus was significantly higher than that obtained by standard PPD (p-value = 0.00386). 相似文献

The protein antigen MPB70 is a major component of culture supernatants of Mycobacterium bovis and is an active ingredient of bovine PPD used for skin-testing cattle for tuberculosis. We have shown that Mycobacterium kansasii possesses a similar gene that cross-reacts in a PCR test for M. bovis. Single strand conformational polymorphism analysis, and the DNA sequence of the PCR product, shows differences between M. kansasii strains, supporting the suggestion that M. kansasii is not a homogeneous species. 相似文献

Two antigens, 19-kDa each, were purified from Mycobacterium bovis culture filtrate protein extract by chromatofocusing. Antigen I had a 4.5 pI, and its amino terminal (DPVDAVINTTCNYGQVVAALNATDP) showed a 100% homology with the hypothetical protein Rv1174c. Antigen II had a pI of 6.0 pI and its amino terminal (GDLVGPGCAEYAAANPTGPASVQGM) showed a 100% homology with M. bovis MPB70/80. Antigen I is a hetero-dimer formed by a glycosylated, 10.5-kDa, monomer and a non-glycosylated 8-kDa monomer with identical amino terminal sequences. Both antigens were recognized by the sera of PPD+ animals, but antigen I did not crossreact with sera of human PPD+ individuals. Antigen I was a weak inducer of lymphocyte proliferation and IFN-gamma production. Our results show that M. bovis expresses a 19 kDa glycoprotein, homologue to the product of M. tuberculosis gen Rv1174c, which may prove useful for bovine TB diagnostic assays. 相似文献

The tuberculin skin test for diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) in cattle lacks specificity if animals are sensitized to environmental mycobacteria, as some antigens in purified protein derivative (PPD) prepared from Mycobacterium bovis are present in nonpathogenic mycobacteria. Three immunodominant TB antigens, ESAT6, CFP10, and Rv3615c, are present in members of the pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex but absent from the majority of environmental mycobacteria. These TB antigens have the potential to enhance skin test specificity. To increase their immunogenicity, these antigens were displayed on polyester beads by translationally fusing them to a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase which mediated formation of antigen-displaying inclusions in recombinant Escherichia coli. The most common form of these inclusions is poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) (PHB). The respective fusion proteins displayed on these PHB inclusions (beads) were identified using tryptic peptide fingerprinting analysis in combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The surface exposure and accessibility of antigens were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Polyester beads displaying all three TB antigens showed greater reactivity with TB antigen-specific antibody than did beads displaying only one TB antigen. This was neither due to cross-reactivity of antibodies with the other two antigens nor due to differences in protein expression levels between beads displaying single or three TB antigens. The triple-antigen-displaying polyester beads were used for skin testing of cattle and detected all cattle experimentally infected with M. bovis with no false-positive reactions observed in those sensitized to environmental mycobacteria. The results suggested applicability of TB antigen-displaying polyester inclusions as diagnostic reagents for distinguishing TB-infected from noninfected animals. 相似文献

Recent evidence indicates that the prevalence of diseases caused by nontuberculous
mycobacteria (NTM) has been increasing in both human and animals. In this study, antibody
profiles of NTM in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were determined and
compared with those of monkeys infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis
complex (MTBC). Antibodies against 10 M. tuberculosis proteins, purified
protein derivative (PPD), and mammalian old tuberculin (MOT) were detected in 14 monkeys
naturally infected with NTM by indirect ELISA. Sera from 10 monkeys infected with MTBC and
10 healthy monkeys were set as controls. All antigens showed high serological reactivities
to MTBC infections and low reactivities in healthy monkeys. NTM infections showed strong
antibody responses to MOT and PPD; moderate antibody responses to 16kDa, U1, MPT64L,
14kDa, and TB16.3; and low antibody responses to 38kDa, Ag85b, CFP10, ESAT-6, and
CFP10-ESAT-6. According to the criteria of MTBC, only CFP10, ESAT-6, and CFP10-ESAT-6
showed negative antibody responses in all NTM infections. Taken together, these results
suggest that positive results of a PPD/MOT-based ELISA in combination with results of
antibodies to M. tuberculosis-specific antigens, such as CFP10 and
ESAT-6, could discriminate NTM and MTBC infections. Two positive results indicate an MTBC
infection, and a negative result for an M. tuberculosis-specific antigen
may preliminarily predict an NTM infection. 相似文献

Neospora caninum is the etiologic agent of bovine neosporosis, which affects the reproductive performance of cattle worldwide. The transmembrane protein, NcSRS2, and dense-granule protein, NcGRA7, were identified as protective antigens based on their ability to induce significant protective immune responses in murine neosporosis models. In the current study, NcSRS2 and NcGRA7 genes were spliced by overlap-extension PCR in a recombinant adenovirus termed Ad5-NcSRS2-NcGRA 7, expressing the NcSRS2-NcGRA7 gene, and the efficacy was evaluated in mice. The results showed that the titer of the recombinant adenovirus was 109TCID50/ml. Three weeks post-boost immunization (w.p.b.i.), the IgG antibody titer in sera was as high as 1:4,096. IFN-γ and IL-4 levels were significantly different from the control group (P<0.01). This research established a solid foundation for the development of a recombinant adenovirus vaccine against bovine N. caninum. 相似文献

A study on skin cross-reactivity between stabilized 14C-labeled mycobacterial antigens, namely tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD; from Mycobacterium tuberculosis), PPD-A (M. avium), PPD-Y (M. kansasii), PPD-G (M. scrofulaceum), PPD-B (M. intracellulare), and PPD-F (M. fortuitum), has been carried out in groups of guinea pigs sensitized with one of the following heat-killed mycobacteria: M. tuberculosis, M. avium, M. kansasii, M. scrofulaceum, M. intracellulare, or M. fortuitum. For each type of sensitization, the average response for the corresponding PPD antigen was higher than the average response for any of the other antigens. However, the responses to the heterologous PPD antigens were not necessarily significantly different among themselves, and the significant differences of the heterologous PPD antigens were distributed differently according to the type of sensitization. Therefore, 14C-PPD antigens skin cross-reacted in guinea pigs essentially in the same manner as reported by others for nonradioactive PPD antigens. 相似文献

The MPB83 antigen from Mycobacterium bovis contains O-linked mannose and (1-->3)-mannobiose moieties

Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agents of human and bovine tuberculosis, have been reported to express a range of surface and secreted glycoproteins, although only one of these has been subjected to detailed structural analysis. We describe the use of a genetic system, in conjunction with lectin binding, to characterize the points of attachment of carbohydrate moieties to the polypeptide backbone of a second mycobacterial glycoprotein, antigen MPB83 from M. bovis. Biochemical and structural analysis of the native MPB83 protein and derived peptides demonstrated the presence of 3 mannose units attached to two threonine residues. Mannose residues were joined by a (1 --> 3) linkage, in contrast to the (1 --> 2) linkage previously observed in antigen MPT32 from M. tuberculosis and the (1 --> 2) and (1 --> 6) linkages in other mycobacterial glycolipids and polysaccharides. The identification of glycosylated antigens within the M. tuberculosis complex raises the possibility that the carbohydrate moiety of these glycoproteins might be involved in pathogenesis, either by interaction with mannose receptors on host cells, or as targets or modulators of the cell-mediated immune response. Given such a possibility characterization of mycobacterial glycoproteins is a step toward understanding their functional role and elucidating the mechanisms of mycobacterial glycosylation. 相似文献

Wide heterogeneity was shown among different batches of bovine protein purified derivative (PPD) tuberculin, as regards protein content and antigenic profile. These features were also investigated in pilot preparations of Mycobacterium bovis secreted antigens and PPD tuberculins. Under controlled conditions, widely different compositions were revealed as a function of the M. bovis strain and also of the time in culture, due to the transient expression of seemingly important clusters of antigens. Furthermore, these parameters could dramatically affect the efficacy of the above preparations in in vitro assays of cell-mediated immunity on M. bovis-infected cattle. The field exposure to mycobacteria of the avium/intracellular group could also influence the readout of such assays, results being in agreement with a bystander suppression model of the response to M. bovis antigens. Due to the above, practical suggestions are put forward to improve the composition of bovine PPD tuberculins and the relevant control procedures. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody, HS-63, which reacts specifically with a highly conserved sperm acrosome antigen, was shown to inhibit in vitro fertilization of mouse and human. The corresponding sperm antigen designated as MSA-63 was purified to homogeneity from mouse testes and used as an immunogen to generate polyclonal antisera in rabbits. The cDNA fragments of MSA-63 gene were cloned from mouse testis cDNA library by an immunoscreening method using polyclonal antisera specific for MSA-63. Using the established cDNA clone as a probe, the gene encoding for MSA-63 protein was found to be conserved among different mammalian species. Only one specific mRNA 1.5 kb in size was identified from the adult mouse testis among different mouse tissues. The recombinant fusion protein containing MSA-63 protein fragment was produced in Escherichia coli and used to immunize female mice. Similar to the original HS-63 monoclonal antibody, the antisera thus produced reacted only with the sperm acrosome and revealed significant inhibition to the in vitro fertilization of mouse oocytes. The results of this preliminary study suggest that it is feasible to mass produce sperm-specific antigens or their antigenic fragments by recombinant DNA technology for the development of sperm antigen-based immunocontraceptive vaccines. 相似文献

The possibility that Ia antigens are unique among H-2 antigens in their relationship to the Fc receptor was investigated in an EA rosette assay. Antibody specific for antigens in various regions of theH-2 complex was incubated with mouse cells, and the ability of the cells to form rosettes with antibody-coated chicken erythrocytes was tested. Antibody raised against the H-2 antigens of Ia-negative tumor cells was highly effective in inhibiting rosette formation. A variety of antisera againstK-, I-, andD-region antigens tested in recombinant mice inhibited EA rosette formation, suggesting that antigens in each of these regions could be detected in rosette inhibition. The F(ab′)2 fragments of all antisera tested also produced specific EA rosette inhibition. Finally, antibody against Ia antigens failed to inhibit bone marrow RFCs, although antibody against H-2K and H-2D antigens did inhibit. Although H-2 serology is in a state of rapid change at present, it must be concluded that in this assay, antibody against antigens in theK andD regions as well as theI region can inhibit EA rosette formation. Inhibition of these rosettes by anti H-2 sera is therefore not due to a special association of Ia antigens with Fc receptors. 相似文献

The gene encoding MPB83 from Mycobacterium bovis Vallee111 chromosomal DNA was amplified by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, and the PCR product was approximately 600bp DNA segment. Using TA cloning technique, the PCR product was cloned into pGEM-T vector and the cloning plasmid pGEM-T-83 was constructed successfully. pGEM-T-83 and pET28a(+) were digested by BamHI and EcoRI double enzymes. The purified MPB83 gene was subcloned into the expression vector pET28a(+), and the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a-83 was constructed. Plasmid containing pET28a-83 was transformed into competence Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The bacterium was induced by isopropyl-Beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and its lysates were loaded directly onto sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), approximately 26 kDa exogenous protein was observed on the SDS-PAGE. The protein was analyzed using Western-blotting. The results indicated that the protein was of antigenic activity of M.bovis. The results were expected to lay foundation for further studies on the subunit vaccine and DNA vaccine of MPB83 gene in their prevention against bovine tuberculosis. 相似文献

Summary Lymphocyte stimulation with Con A and specific immune reactivity to BCG (antibody formation to BCG and DTH reaction to PPD) were determined in BCG-treated, surgically treated and untreated cows with ocular squamous cell carcinoma. In tumor-bearing cows the Con A-induced proliferation of lymphocytes was reduced when compared to healthy controls. This suppression consisted of a reduced blastogenic response to Con A of lymphocytes from tumor-bearing cows, and the presence of a factor in the sera of these animals, as these sera suppressed the blastogenic response of lymphocytes from healthy cows. BCG had only a minor influence on the suppressive activity. Antibodies to BCG were demonstrated in 50% of the BCG-treated animals. The formation of antibodies was not influenced by intradermal injection of PPD of Mycobacterium bovis. Absorption of a BCG antibody containing serum with BOSCC tumor extracts did not reveal the existence of cross reacting antigens between BCG and BOSCC. Pretherapeutic and posttherapeutic Con A reactivity could not be correlated with clinical response. Of the 30 BCG treated cows 29 developed a positive DTH reaction to PPD. Correlation between clinical response and immune reactivity was seen only with regard to the DTH reaction to PPD: this reaction remained positive for a longer period after treatment in animals with a favorable clinical outcome than in nonresponding animals.Animals were maintained under the guidelines laid down by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, State University, Utrecht, The NetherlandsGrant recipient of the Koningin Wilhelmina Fonds (Netherlands Cancer Foundation)

The development of protective vaccines against many difficult infectious pathogens will necessitate the induction of effective antibody responses. Here we assess humoral immune responses against two antigens from the blood-stage merozoite of the Plasmodium falciparum human malaria parasite – MSP1 and AMA1. These antigens were delivered to healthy malaria-naïve adult volunteers in Phase Ia clinical trials using recombinant replication-deficient viral vectors – ChAd63 to prime the immune response and MVA to boost. In subsequent Phase IIa clinical trials, immunized volunteers underwent controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) with P. falciparum to assess vaccine efficacy, whereby all but one volunteer developed low-density blood-stage parasitemia. Here we assess serum antibody responses against both the MSP1 and AMA1 antigens following i) ChAd63-MVA immunization, ii) immunization and CHMI, and iii) primary malaria exposure in the context of CHMI in unimmunized control volunteers. Responses were also assessed in a cohort of naturally-immune Kenyan adults to provide comparison with those induced by a lifetime of natural malaria exposure. Serum antibody responses against MSP1 and AMA1 were characterized in terms of i) total IgG responses before and after CHMI, ii) responses to allelic variants of MSP1 and AMA1, iii) functional growth inhibitory activity (GIA), iv) IgG avidity, and v) isotype responses (IgG1-4, IgA and IgM). These data provide the first in-depth assessment of the quality of adenovirus-MVA vaccine-induced antibody responses in humans, along with assessment of how these responses are modulated by subsequent low-density parasite exposure. Notable differences were observed in qualitative aspects of the human antibody responses against these malaria antigens depending on the means of their induction and/or exposure of the host to the malaria parasite. Given the continued clinical development of viral vectored vaccines for malaria and a range of other diseases targets, these data should help to guide further immuno-monitoring studies of vaccine-induced human antibody responses. 相似文献

Viral vectored vaccines have been shown to induce both T cell and antibody responses in animals and humans. However, the induction of even higher level T cell responses may be crucial in achieving vaccine efficacy against difficult disease targets, especially in humans. Here we investigate the oligomerization domain of the α-chain of C4b-binding protein (C4 bp) as a candidate T cell “molecular adjuvant” when fused to malaria antigens expressed by human adenovirus serotype 5 (AdHu5) vectored vaccines in BALB/c mice. We demonstrate that i) C-terminal fusion of an oligomerization domain can enhance the quantity of antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses induced in mice after only a single immunization of recombinant AdHu5, and that the T cells maintain similar functional cytokine profiles; ii) an adjuvant effect is observed for AdHu5 vectors expressing either the 42 kDa C-terminal domain of Plasmodium yoelii merozoite surface protein 1 (PyMSP142) or the 83 kDa ectodomain of P. falciparum strain 3D7 apical membrane antigen 1 (PfAMA1), but not a candidate 128kDa P. falciparum MSP1 biallelic fusion antigen; iii) following two homologous immunizations of AdHu5 vaccines, antigen-specific T cell responses are further enhanced, however, in both BALB/c mice and New Zealand White rabbits no enhancement of functional antibody responses is observed; and iv) that the T cell adjuvant activity of C4 bp is not dependent on a functional Fc-receptor γ-chain in the host, but is associated with the oligomerization of small (<80 kDa) antigens expressed by recombinant AdHu5. The oligomerization domain of C4 bp can thus adjuvant T cell responses induced by AdHu5 vectors against selected antigens and its clinical utility as well as mechanism of action warrant further investigation. 相似文献
