摘要
本文对大陆株日本血吸虫26kDa谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(Sj26GST)的DNA疫苗进行研究,并观察了其免疫保护效果。分别构建含Sj26GST基因的重组质粒pCD-Sj26和pBK-Sj26,采用脂质体介导的基因转移将pCD-Sj26和pBK-Sj26分别导入NIH3T3成纤维细胞,用免疫荧光法(IFA)证实Sj26GST在真核细胞中的表达。分别将pCD-Sj26和pBK-Sj26及pBK-CMV肌注BALB/c小鼠。免疫3次后,免疫鼠产生一定水平的抗血吸虫抗体。用日本血吸虫尾蚴攻击感染免疫小鼠,结果pCD-Sj26和pBK-Sj26免疫鼠减虫率分别为37.19%和44.44%,肝组织减卵率为73.80%和47.20%,每对成虫产卵减少56.88%和15.67%。实验结果表明,日本血吸虫Sj26DNA疫苗免疫小鼠后能诱生一定水平的抗血吸虫抗体,免疫鼠可形成一定水平的保护性免疫力,预防血吸虫尾蚴感染。
DNA vaccines, the antigenencoding DNAs used in vaccination, represent a novel approach to the development of subunit vaccines. In this study,the plasmid pCDSj26 and pBKSj26,both of which contain the fulllength cDNA of 26 kDa glutathione Stransferase of S. japonicum(Sj26GST)were constructed. The pCDSj26 and pBKSj26 were transiently transfected into NIH3T3 cells. The expression of Sj26GST in transfected cells was confirmed by indirect immunofluoresent assay. The BALB/c mice were inoculated by intramuscular injection with pCDSj26,pBKSj26 and pBKCMV(control plasmid), respectively. Mice immunized with DNA vaccine developed a certain level neutralizing antibody to S. japonicum. Vaccination with pCDSj26 and pBKSj26 resulted in significant protection with 37.19% and 44.44% reduction in worm burden,73.80% and 42.20% reduction in liver tissue eggs, 56.88% and 15.67% reduction in female worm fecundity, respectively. The results indicate that Sj26 GST DNA vaccine can induce a certain level of specific protective immunity in mice against infection with S. japonicum and an antifecundity, theredy reducing pathology.
