Technical field
The present invention relates to specific antigen protein, the Preparation Method And The Use of a kind of whole blood INF-γ by gene engineering method preparation, and relate to this proteic nucleotide sequence of coding, recombinant vectors and recon.
Background technology
Tuberculosis is main through one of respiratory infectious, serious harm China and global important transmissible disease.According to the World Health Organization, there is the mycobacterium tuberculosis infection person of 17-20 hundred million in the whole world, and the people died from this disease and (thanked to the Jianping, the methodology of mycobacterium tuberculosis functional genome research, microorganism circular .2001.28 (5): 92-97) every year at least 200 ten thousand.Therefore, accurately screening the infected's method is played the part of important role in control lungy even final elimination.
Existing diagnostic techniques is very difficult to mycobacterium tuberculosis infection person's diagnosis.In recent decades, adopt tuberculin test (TST) to come diagnosing tubercle bacillus the infected clinically.But the TST active ingredient is purified protein derivative (purified protein derivative of tuberculin, PPD), be the crude extract of mycobacterium tuberculosis culture supernatant, contain more than 200 kind of composition, have cross reaction with BCG inoculation and environment mycobacterial infections.The TST detected result can be disturbed [P.Andersen, et al.Lancet356 (2000) 1099-1104.] by clinical widely used vaccine-bacille Calmette-Guerin vaccine immunity now.From nineteen twenty-one and bright bacille Calmette-Guerin vaccine till now, Quan Shan circle has 3,500,000,000 people's bcg vaccinations.Therefore TST is subjected to very big influence to the infected's diagnostic value, cause the accuracy of TST diagnosis lower, so we can't judge whether really to exist m tuberculosis infection according to its result.
Phlegm smear acid-fast stain in tuberculosis patient's the diagnostic techniques or phlegm bacterium are cultivated, cultivate difficulty, consuming time longer; X X-ray test X lung of lung pathological change also only could be diagnosed after having typical clinical symptom; Other serological diagnostic methods and molecular diagnosis method lack specificity, and false positive rate is higher.Relevant researchist points out that the susceptibility and the specificity of different diagnostic test methods are as follows: mycobacterium is cultivated (being respectively 73% and 100%); PCR (being respectively 42% and 100%); Chest x-ray (being respectively 67%~77% and 66%~76%); Tuberculin test (being respectively 94% and 20%); Serology (being respectively 33% and 87%).This shows that it is optimum that the susceptibility of existing diagnostic test method and specificity can't reach simultaneously.Therefore, must study tuberculosis and mycobacterium tuberculosis infection person's early stage, quick, special and responsive diagnostic method as early as possible.
Behind the m tuberculosis infection human body, at first can be activated the T cellullar immunologic response of body by the immune system recognition of human body, secretion produces IFN-γ, and the latter brings into play the resisting tuberculosis infection effect.Part T cell transformation is an immunological memory cell, and after meeting with tubercule bacillus once more, secretion produces IFN-γ once more, the effect of performance resisting tuberculosis infection.Whether the IFN-γ generation of antigen-specific and body infect or fall ill closely related.Therefore, if the antigen that adopts tubercle bacillus differential is at stimulated in vitro the infected and patient's T cell, can induce these T cells to produce the IFN-γ of high-caliber tuberculosis bar Tong antigen-specific, but not the amount of the IFN-γ that mycobacterium tuberculosis infection person or non-tuberculosis patient produce is close with the amount that does not produce with antigenic stimulation, thereby realizes the purpose of diagnosis.This shows, seek and find tubercle bacillus specific antigen, the diagnostic reagent that develops a new generation is had important value and meaning.
1996, Stover etc. have determined the territory that BCG loses by the method for subtrahend hybridization in the subculture in vitro separately process, be defined as disappearance district (Region of Difference, RD), runt domain is present in the mycobacterium tuberculosis, and in BCG and most of environment mycobacterium, lack [Cheng Yu, Li Maoquan. the laboratory diagnosis progress of mycobacterium tuberculosis. foreign medical science clinical biochemistry and ecsomatics fascicle .2002; 23 (6): 342-343.].Wherein, early stage minute antigen target 6KD of RD1 regional code (early secreting antigen target 6KD, ESAT-6) and culturing filtrate protein 10 KD (cultufiltrate protein 10KD, CFP-10) be two kinds of small molecular weight secretory proteins, they are one of topmost antigen of T cell, can induce stronger cell immune response.In addition, MPB64 albumen is the protein of mycobacterium tuberculosis excretory 24KDa molecular weight in growth and breeding, is a secretory protein that special role is arranged, and can cause the intensive delayed type hypersensitivity.MPB64 albumen mainly is present in the mycobacterium tuberculosis composite flora, the non-tuberculous mycobacteria only a few occurs positive, M.flavescens is a weak positive [happy army, Liang Li, Li Suhui, Deng. the clinical value [J] of enzyme linked immunological spot test quick diagnosis m tuberculosis infection. Chinese laboratory medicine magazine, 2006,29 (11): 1005-1008.].Yet because the proteinic molecular weight of these tuberculosis specific diagnostics is less, directly separation and purification is comparatively difficult from the culture of tubercule bacillus, and production cost is very high; Although can adopt peptide synthetic method to produce, peptide synthetic cost is very high, and the cost of the clinical application test kit of Jian Liing increases greatly thus.In addition, by the above-mentioned antigenic epi-position of the independent acquisition of genetic engineering technique, because external and intravital difference, expressed products also easily because formation forgive not loses activity of proteins as reporting both at home and abroad.
