Through these two genes of conventional molecular biology method clonal expression, expression vector is pQE31, and expressing bacterium is E.coli M15.The recombinant plasmid transformed that order-checking is successful, adds in the LB liquid nutrient medium behind the two anti-screening positive clones of Amp and Kan to competence M15, and 37 ℃ of 250rpm amplifications are spent the night.Inoculum size by 1:100 goes to the LB nutrient solution, 37 ℃ be cultured to OD and be about 0.6~0.8 after, adopt the IPTG inducible protein to express.Different protein induced temperature and IPTG concentration have nothing in common with each other.Sonicated is the E.coli M15 cell of expressing protein, difference collecting precipitation and supernatant, and 10%~15%SDS-PAGE and Western blot identify.Great expression recombinant protein then, and recombinant protein carried out purifying, detect protein concentration with BCA (bicinchoninic acid) method.1a0957; The agarose gel electrophoresis analysis of two gene PCR amplified productions of 1a1495 such as Figure 1A and Figure 1B; The enzyme of PQE31 recombinant expression plasmid is cut qualification result such as Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B, the SDS-PAGE result of two recombinant proteins of LA0957LA1495 such as Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B.
Embodiment 2
The immunogenicity of recombinant protein detects
The polyclonal antibody that at first prepares above-mentioned 2 recombinant proteins with BALB/c mouse, detecting serum titer is 1: 32000, shows good immunogenicity.Western-blot detects the immunoreactivity of recombinant protein, shows that recombinant protein can react with corresponding polyvalent antibody, explains that these two vaccine candidate antigens have good immunoreactivity
Embodiment 3
Western blot detects vaccine candidate antigen and relies the antibody in the strain rabbit anteserum leptospiral
Method is that 2 μ g recombinant proteins are changeed film behind SDS-PAGE, and (1% skim-milk-0.1%Tween20-PBS, pH7.4) sealing is 2 hours, PBS-T liquid flushing 3 times, each 10 minutes with confining liquid.Anti-as one with the dilution of rabbit antileptospira serum, extension rate is 1:50,1:100, and 1:200 and 1:400 reacted 3 hours, and PBS-T liquid is given a baby a bath on the third day after its birth inferior, each 10 minutes.Two anti-are Goat-anti-Rabbit IgG HRP (1:2000), reacts after 1 hour, and PBS-T gives a baby a bath on the third day after its birth inferior.The chemical luminous substrate colour developing.
Detected result shows that the antibody of LA0957 and LA1495 is present in the full bacterium rabbit anti-serum of leptospiral.These 2 leptospira vaccine candidate molecules have to express in infecting leptospiral animal body also can stimulate body to produce corresponding antibodies.
Embodiment 4
FACS (flow cytometer) detects LA0957 and LA1495 is that the leptospiral surface exposes protein
Method: it is 2 * 10 that leptospiral relies strain to be cultured to concentration 8/ ml, PBS damping fluid wash 2 times and adjust concentration to 3 * 10 7/ ml.Get BALB/c mouse serum or PBS immunity BALB/c mouse gained antiserum(antisera) (final concentration is 1:50) that 300 μ l leptospiral cell suspensions add recombinant protein; Hatched 30 minutes for 37 ℃; Centrifugal 10 minutes of 10000r/min; The PBS damping fluid is washed 2 times, adds 6 μ l FITC anti-mouse IgG again 2a/2b, 37 ℃ of lucifuges were hatched 30 minutes, PBS washing 2 times, and PBS is resuspended.FACS detects fluorescent value, statistics software SPSS10.0 analytical results.Negative control is normal BALB/c mouse serum, and positive control is the BALB/c mouse antiserum(antisera) of recombinant protein LipL32 and LipL41.Each sample duplicate detection 4~5 times.
The result sees Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, and wherein grey peak figure is normal mouse serum and leptospiral cell response, to get rid of mice serum and leptospiral non-specific binding.White peak figure is the association reaction of specificity outer membrane protein antiserum(antisera) or PBS immunity BALB/c mouse antiserum(antisera) and leptospiral cell.The two otherness shows the combination degree of specificity leptospiral protein and leptospiral cell.SPSS10.0 software carries out the nonparametric statistics of two independent samples and adds up (Kolmorov-Smirnov test, K-Stest), whether the MV of analyzing vaccine candidate antigen immune mouse antiserum(antisera) and normal mouse serum fluorescent signal has statistical significance.The result shows: the K-S of the known albumen LipL32 that is exposed to adventitia and LipL41 and vaccine candidate antigen LA0957 and LA1495 check P 0.05, statistical significance is arranged.Explain that vaccine candidate antigen LA0957 and LA1495 are that leptospiral surface exposes protein.
Embodiment 5
Western Blot detects the conservative property of vaccine candidate antigen in different strains
The leptospiral thalline is handled 15 serogroups representative strains of China popular leptospiral with 28 ℃ of shaking culture of EMJH substratum; Cultivated after 3 days 10000rpm centrifugal 10 minutes; Weighing weight in wet base behind the unnecessary PBS is removed in PBS washing 2 times, adds aseptic double-distilled water according to 100mg/ml; Fully mixing is subsequent use.
Western Blot changes film after detecting 12%SDS-PAGE, and (1% skim-milk-0.1%Tween20-PBS, pH7.4) sealing is 2 hours, PBS-T liquid flushing 3 times, each 10 minutes with confining liquid.BALB/c mouse serum 1:1000 dilution with recombinant protein is anti-as one, reacts 3 hours, and PBS-T liquid is given a baby a bath on the third day after its birth inferior, each 10 minutes.Two anti-are Goat-anti-Mouse IgG HRP (1:2000), reacts 1 hour, and PBS-T gives a baby a bath on the third day after its birth inferior.The chemical luminous substrate colour developing.
Result such as Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B all have expression with LA1495 at vaccine candidate antigen LA0957 in the different serogroups representative strains of 15 strains, be the vaccine candidate antigen of guarding.
The present invention uses the theory of reverse vaccinology, through bioinformatics method, and has integrated the result of comparative genomics hybridization and transcription group, filters out 226 leptospira vaccine candidate genes.
Through LA0957 and these 2 vaccine candidate genes of LA1495 further being screened and identifying; Show that they not only have better immunogenicity; In the bad strain rabbit anteserum of leptospiral, there is antibody; FACS detects and confirms that the surface that is the leptospiral cell exposes protein, and in the representative strains of 15 serogroupss, has strong conservative property, is two new leptospira vaccine candidate genes.
