人巨细胞病毒pp150蛋白片段与MDBP蛋白片段的融合表达及初步应用

人巨细胞病毒(HCMV)感染是临床上常见的一种病毒性传播疾病,正常人群常无明显的临床症状,而对器官移植患者、免疫力低下及孕妇等人可产生严重的危害。以HCMVAD169病毒株基因为模板,经PCR扩增了编码pp150蛋白片段的UL32基因和编码MDBP蛋白片段的UL57基因,目的基因转化入pMD18-T克隆载体后再经酶切与表达载体pET-11a连接构建出融合基因表达载体,然后转入大肠杆菌BL21,重组大肠杆菌经诱导表达融合蛋白pp150/MDBP。经SDS-PAGE分析,其相对分子量约为27kD,表达量约占菌体蛋白的17.45%,Westernblot鉴定为阳性,ELISA及蛋白芯片检测表明融合蛋白具有良好的抗原性,经过初步应用表明其对血清IgG及IgM的检出率与全抗原相比一致,具有进一步开发应用的价值。

Expression of Recombinant Human Cytomegalovirus Fusion Proteins pp150/MDBP Fragments and its Application

Human cytomegalovirus(HCMV) infection is an ubiquitous herpesvirus disease in human populations. It is rarely pathogenic to healthy adults,yet it may cause severe outcome to organ transplant recipients,the immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women. Using DNA from HCMV AD169 strain as template,the UL32 gene encoding pp150 protein fragment and the UL57 gene encoding MDBP protein fragment were amplified by PCR technique. After the construction of cloning vector pMD18-T-UL32,pMD18-T-UL57,pMD18-T-UL32/UL57 and expression vector pET-11a-UL32/UL57,the recombinant fusion proteins pp150/MDBP were induced with IPTG in BL21 host strain. The results showed that the relative molecular weight of recombinant fusion proteins pp150/MDBP is about 27kD,the product of fusion proteins takes 17.45% in the total proteins in host bacteria,the analytical result was positive to the fusion proteins pp150/MDBP via Western blot technique,while the purified recombinant fusion proteins have strong antigenicity detected by ELISA and protein chip compared with whole virus antigens from HCMV. It was demonstrated that when used for the detection of serum from the clinical patients it has the same detection rate compared with the whole virus antigen. It needs further research for application.
