Detailed Description Of The Invention
The present inventor searches for the epitope of tubercule bacillus structural protein Ag85a gene by the Epitope Informatics of the Intenet-based appliedbioinformatics company of computer software service company, find its epitope mainly concentrate on the aminoterminal of Ag85a and c-terminus (D ' Souza, " Mapping of murine Thl helper T-cell epitopesof mycolyl transferases Ag85A; Ag85B; and Ag85C from Mycobacteriumtuberculosis ", Infection and Immunity, 7 (1): 483-493,2003).Do not containing the Ag85a maternal gene centre portion of epitope, the sequence that can find following restricted enzyme to discern, they are respectively the Kpn I recognition sequences of 245-250 position; The Pst I recognition sequence of 325-330; And the Acc I recognition sequence of 430-435 position.
At the above-mentioned restriction endonuclease sites of tubercule bacillus 85a gene (sequence 1), promptly be positioned at 245-250 (
GGTACC) position restricted enzyme Kpn I recognition sequence, 325-330 (
CTGCAG) position restricted enzyme Pst I recognition sequence and/or 430-435 (
GTCTAC) the restriction enzyme A cc I recognition sequence of position, inserting other less gene order, the gene ESAT6 (sequence 2) as coding tubercule bacillus protective antigen can be built into mosaic type tubercle bacillus gene vaccine.
The present inventor designed have restricted enzyme Nhe I (
GCTAGC) and BamH I (
GGATCC) the primer a and the primer b of recognition site, with round pcr from tubercule bacillus chromosomal DNA amplification Ag85a maternal gene, and digest Ag85a gene and carrier for expression of eukaryon respectively with restricted enzyme Nhe I and BamH I, connect both digestion products then with ligase, be built into the plasmid that contains maternal gene Ag85a.
The present inventor has also designed the primer that carries Kpn I restriction endonuclease recognition sequence, PstI restriction endonuclease recognition sequence or Acc I restriction endonuclease recognition sequence at 5 ' end respectively, is respectively applied for the pcr amplification of ESAT6 mini-gene.
Digest carrier for expression of eukaryon that contains the Ag85a maternal gene and the ESAT6 mini-gene pcr amplification product that carries the primer acquisition of Kpn I restriction endonuclease recognition sequence at 5 ' end respectively with Kpn I restricted enzyme, digestion product with both couples together with ligase then, select the correct person of closure, be built into tubercule bacillus mosaic type gene vaccine HG856-1 plasmid.
Digest carrier for expression of eukaryon that contains the Ag85a maternal gene and the ESAT6 mini-gene pcr amplification product that carries the primer acquisition of Acc I restriction endonuclease recognition sequence at 5 ' end respectively with Acc I restricted enzyme, digestion product with both couples together with ligase then, select the correct person of closure, be built into tubercule bacillus mosaic type gene vaccine HG856-2 plasmid.
Digest carrier for expression of eukaryon that contains the Ag85a maternal gene and the ESAT6 mini-gene pcr amplification product that carries the primer acquisition of Pst I restriction endonuclease recognition sequence with 5 ' end respectively with Pst I restricted enzyme, digestion product with both couples together with ligase then, select the correct person of closure, be built into tubercule bacillus mosaic type gene vaccine HG856-3 plasmid.
Therefore, control of the present invention chimeric gene vaccine lungy is that a smaller tubercule bacillus ESAT6 gene is inserted into chimeric forming in the suitable site of a bigger tubercule bacillus Ag85a maternal gene.Wherein, be good to insert the gene constructed mosaic type tubercle bacillus gene vaccine HG856-1 that becomes of ESAT6 and the immunogenicity of HG856-2 plasmid in the Acc I recognition sequence site of Kpn I recognition sequence site, the 245-250 position of Ag85a maternal gene and 430-435 position.
The present invention adopts will the encode ESAT6 gene of minimum tubercule bacillus protective antigen of the chimeric technology of gene to be fitted in the antigenic gene of Ag85a of the tool immune protective effect of encoding; the novel tubercle bacillus chimeric gene vaccine that produces demonstrates the immune effect that is better than the single-gene vaccine in zoopery, the height that it induces the anti-ESAT6 of generation and anti-Ag85a antibody all to produce than single-gene vaccine or two gene fusion bacterin.

Annotate: the GMT of immune matched group is not 9.7.With 50 μ g tubercule bacillus 85a proteantigen lumbar injections as booster immunization.This experiment is made substrate with alkali phosphatase, in the OD405nm reading. |
Among Fig. 6, ■ is an intramuscular injection electricity transduction group (10 μ g), and is intramuscular injection group (100 μ g).
Before Ia is the vaccination of 85a single-gene, after Ib is the vaccination of 85a single-gene;
Before IIa is HG856-2 vaccination, after IIb is HG856-2 vaccination;
Before IIIa is HG856-1 vaccination, after IIIb is HG856-1 vaccination.
From table 1 and Fig. 6 as seen, adopt the electrotransfection method, the consumption of 85a gene vaccine inoculation has only 1/10 of simple intramuscular injection, and income effect is but suitable with it, even omits; This moment, the effect of 85a single-gene or chimeric gene vaccine did not have remarkable difference.And after strengthening with protein vaccine, the chimeric gene vaccine effect is not as the single-gene vaccine during simple intramuscular injection; But the chimeric gene vaccine effect of electrotransfection is better than the single-gene vaccine, and all is better than simple intramuscular injection.Point out this chimeric gene vaccine to make the electrotransfection basic vaccination, the reuse protein vaccine strengthens having the applications well prospect.

Fig. 7 shows the mycobacterial genomic vaccine immunity and strengthens the anti-ESAT-6 detection of antibodies of back mice serum with respective egg white matter vaccine, is expressed as average geometric and tires.
ESAT-6 antigen is poor antigen, than a little less than the 85a antigen many, difficultly behind the inoculation animal induce stronger immunne response, the back immunogenicity is strengthened among the 85a but it is entrenched in.
From table 2 and Fig. 7 as seen, adopt the electrotransfection method, the consumption of ESAT-6 single-gene vaccination has only 1/10 of simple intramuscular injection, and income effect is but suitable with it; The effect of ESAT-6 single-gene or chimeric gene vaccine was more or less the same before protein vaccine was strengthened.
And with after the protein vaccine reinforcement, simple muscle of ESAT-6 single-gene vaccine or electrotransfection injection effect are all not good; Mosaic gene HG43 vaccine effect is slightly better than ESAT-6 single-gene vaccine and mosaic gene HG44 vaccine during simple intramuscular injection; But the two kinds of mosaic gene HE43 and the HE44 vaccine effect of electrotransfection all obviously are better than the single-gene vaccine, and are better than simple intramuscular injection greatly.Point out this chimeric gene vaccine to make the electrotransfection basic vaccination, the reuse protein vaccine strengthens having the applications well prospect.For improving the Th1 cellullar immunologic response, booster immunization preferably adopts recombinant bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine, or contains the recombinant vaccinia of tubercule bacillus related gene.Mosaic type mycobacterial genomic vaccine as herein described is fit to do fundamental immunity.
The result of this experimental example shows: novel mosaic type tubercle bacillus gene vaccine can be induced anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis 85a and ESAT6 simultaneously in the mice body specific antibody, and effect is better than 85a single-gene vaccine and ESAT6 single-gene vaccine, is fit to do basic immunity.
