摘要
将一12aa的CTB表位连接于丙型肝炎病毒(Hepatitis C virus,HCV)复合多表位抗原基因PCX的5’端,再克隆于真核表达载体pcDNA3中,获得重组质粒pcDNA3/CTB-PCX,利用表达IL-12的pWRG/mIL-12作为佐剂,肌注免疫小鼠后6W,用重组蛋白CZ-PCX加强免疫1次,第6W时叶检测到较高水平的抗GZ-PCXIgG,最高滴度达1:103,与对照pcDNA3/PCX相比无显著升高,提示CTB表位并无明显的增强PCX 基因特异性体液免疫应答的作用。重组蛋白GZ-PCX可有效提高抗体水平,促进CD8+T细胞增殖。免疫小鼠叶诱发钉对GZ-PCX融合蛋白的迟发性超敏反应(DTH),免疫后小鼠体重正常,肝脾未见明显肿大,具有良好安全性。
A l2aa epitope of CTB Was cloned at the 5' terminus of a multiple-epitope HCV gene PCX of hepatitis C virus (HCV), then cloned into a eukaryotic pcDNA3 to construct pcDNA3/CTB-PCX then immunned mice with a mIL-12 expression vector pWRG/mIL- 12 as art adjuvant. After six weeks of immunization. a HCV specific recombined protein GZ-PCX was used to boost the immunized mice. The results showed the specific antibodies were detected at week six (the titer 1: 10~3). which did not show significant difference compared with that of pcDNA3/PCX group, indicating this CTB epitope was effectiveless in enhancing the specific immune responses of PCX gene. After boosted with GZ - PCX antigen, the level of anti-GZ- PCX raised dramatically and the ratio of CD8+T cell increased. The immunized mice induced delayed- type ttypersensibility (DTH)by GZ - PCX antigen as well. The body weight and weight of livers and spleens of immunized mice did not show abnormality compared with those of blank and other immunized groups.
