Description

Subunit vaccine of bovine A-type clostridium perfringens and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to preparation and application of a bovine A-type clostridium perfringens subunit vaccine, belonging to the technical field of biological products for livestock.
Background
Clostridium perfringens type a (Clostridium perfringens) is an anaerobic, sporulating and thermophilic, opportunistic pathogen in nature and in the animal gut. The enterotoxemia and sudden death of cattle caused by the disease have the characteristics of acute morbidity, short course of disease, high mortality rate and the like. Therefore, the medicine often does not have good treatment effect.
Clostridium perfringens type a produces mainly alpha-toxin, which is the main immunogen and can stimulate the body to produce neutralizing antibodies. Thus, alpha-toxin is the main target antigen for subunit vaccine design. However, alpha-toxin has phospholipase C activity, can hydrolyze phosphatidylcholine in cell membranes, and the integrity of the cell membranes is damaged, finally, cells are broken and die, so that the alpha-toxin has the characteristics of cytotoxicity, hemolysis, lethality, skin necrosis and the like. Thus, inactivation of phospholipase C activity must be considered when designing for expression of the alpha toxin.
At present, alpha-toxin is subjected to truncation expression so as to obtain an alpha-toxin truncation body which does not contain toxicity and retains immunogenicity (see the invention patent with the publication number of CN 93107585); there is an inactivation treatment of the expressed alpha-toxin to obtain alpha-toxin with lost toxicity (see patent publication No. CN 200680021810). However, due to the limitations of the technical conditions at the time, the expression is truncated at a position which is either long or short, which may not only affect the immunogenicity of the target protein, but also reduce the yield of the target protein, resulting in higher production costs; in addition, toxicity caused by incomplete inactivation may exist when wild type alpha-toxin is inactivated, steps and time of a production process are increased, production cost is increased, and production and sale of vaccines are affected.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a bovine clostridium perfringens type A subunit vaccine capable of being industrially produced in a large scale and a preparation method thereof; secondly, the defect possibly caused by the shortening position or the length in the prior art is overcome; thirdly, the possible defects existing in the prior art when the alpha-toxin is inactivated are overcome.
According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a bovine clostridium perfringens type a subunit vaccine comprising an alpha-toxin protein truncation of clostridium perfringens type a of a bovine, and a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, wherein the alpha-toxin protein truncation is an epitope amino acid sequence of the alpha-toxin protein from amino acid 255 to amino acid 372
In the technical scheme of the invention, preferably, the amino acid sequence of the alpha-toxin protein truncation is shown in SEQ ID NO. 3.
In the technical scheme of the invention, preferably, the pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant is ISA201VG adjuvant, and the weight ratio of the alpha-toxin protein truncation body to the adjuvant is 1: 1.
In the technical scheme of the invention, preferably, each head of the subunit vaccine contains 30-200 mu g of alpha-toxin protein truncation.
In the technical scheme of the invention, each head of the subunit vaccine preferably contains 100 mu g of alpha-toxin protein truncation.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a method of preparing an alpha-toxin protein truncation, the method comprising the steps of: 1) carrying out codon optimization on the nucleotide sequence of the alpha-toxin protein to obtain a codon-optimized nucleotide sequence of the alpha-toxin protein, and amplifying the codon-optimized nucleotide sequence of the alpha-toxin protein by PCR to obtain a nucleotide sequence of an alpha-toxin protein truncation body; 2) inserting the nucleotide sequence of the alpha-toxin protein truncation into a pET28a vector to obtain a recombinant vector; 3) transferring the recombinant vector into E.coli BL21(DE3), inducing expression, and purifying to obtain the alpha-toxin protein truncated body.
In the technical scheme of the invention, preferably, the nucleotide sequence of the alpha-toxin protein truncation body amplified by PCR after codon optimization is shown as SEQ ID No. 1.
According to another aspect of the invention, the invention also provides a subunit vaccine for use in the treatment and prevention of clostridium perfringens type a in cattle.
According to another aspect of the invention, the invention also provides the use of an alpha-toxin protein truncation in the preparation of a bovine clostridium perfringens type a subunit vaccine.
Compared with the prior art, the subunit vaccine provided by the invention can well overcome the problem of incomplete inactivation probably existing in the prior art when the alpha-toxin is inactivated (the alpha-toxin protein in the subunit vaccine of the invention has no toxicity and does not need to be inactivated). Secondly, the alpha-toxin protein of the invention only cuts off the toxic structure domain in the alpha-toxin protein when cutting off, and retains all possible immunogenicity (in the comparative experiment of example 5, the immunogenicity of the alpha-toxin protein truncation of the invention is better than that of the alpha-toxin protein truncation of the prior art), therefore, the invention can well overcome the possible defects caused by the cutting off position or the length or the short length in the prior art. Thirdly, when the alpha-toxin protein truncation is prepared, the process is simple (the expressed protein can be obtained by purifying on a nickel column), the yield is high (about 800mg/L), the cost is low (escherichia coli is used for expression, the fermentation time is short, and the material consumption is low), and the method is suitable for large-scale industrial production. Finally, the α -toxin protein truncations of the invention were all normal within 7 days of the follow-up after injection of the mice, and thus, the α -toxin protein truncations of the invention were safe; and after the alpha-toxin protein truncation is used for preparing the vaccine, the rabbit or the mouse can be protected from being attacked by virulent viruses after the rabbit or the mouse is immunized, which shows that the vaccine can generate good immune response and is suitable for treating and preventing bovine A-type clostridium perfringens.

EXAMPLE 1 preparation of alpha-toxin protein truncations
1.1 selection of the truncation position of the alpha-toxin protein truncates
Alpha toxin is a main pathogenic factor of clostridium perfringens type a and can stimulate the body to produce neutralizing antibodies. It is itself a metalloenzyme that relies on the activity of zinc ion phospholipase c (plc), which hydrolyzes the phosphatidylcholine of the cell membrane, disrupting the integrity of the membrane, and ultimately leading to cell rupture and death. Analysis of the structure of the alpha-toxin protein (PDB:1GYG) divides the structure into two domains: the N-terminal structure comprises nine closely connected alpha-helices, the C-terminal structure consists of 8 antiparallel beta-sheets, and the N-terminal and the C-terminal are connected by a short, elastic linker. Wherein the phospholipase activity domain is completely N-terminal domain, and the C-terminal domain containing a plurality of antigenic determinants is free of phospholipase activity. To ensure immunogenicity (avoid truncations too short to lose part of immunogenicity; or truncations too long, resulting in low yields on subsequent preparations), the truncation position was chosen by analytical comparison to be the entire C-terminal domain, i.e.the sequence from amino acid 255 to amino acid 372 of the alpha-toxin.
1.2 codon optimization of alpha-toxin protein
According to GenBank (GenBank: AY823400) sequence number, the nucleic acid sequence of C57 is submitted to Nanjing Kingsley Biotechnology GmbH for optimized synthesis to obtain OPTI-PLC (codon optimized alpha toxin protein nucleotide sequence).
The nucleotide sequence comparison of α -toxin protein truncations before and after codon optimization is shown in fig. 4, where 77/354 ═ 21.75% of the nucleotides are different.

To further compare the immunogenicity of the α -toxin protein truncations we prepared with the α -toxin protein truncations prepared in the patent of the invention of CN93107585, we performed immune challenge experiments using Bal b/c mice. 2 vaccines were prepared according to the method of example 4, each vaccine having an alpha toxin protein truncation concentration of 100. mu.g/head. 15 Bal b/c mice were purchased and randomly divided into 3 groups of 5, 1 group of which was injected intramuscularly in the legs with 100. mu.l of the vaccine prepared from the alpha-toxin protein truncate we prepared (designated as experimental group 1), 1 group of which was injected intramuscularly in the legs with 100. mu.l of the vaccine prepared from the alpha-toxin protein truncate of the invention patent CN93107585 (designated as experimental group 2),1 group served as a blank control group, and 100. mu.l of PBS was injected intramuscularly in the legs. The virus challenge was carried out 21 days after immunization (C57-1 toxin challenge 1 mouse MLD) and 14 consecutive days were observed. Within 14 days of observation, the control group died completely, the protection rate was 0, none of the experimental group 1 died, and the appetite was good, the protection rate was 100%, 1 mouse died in the experimental group 2, and the protection rate was 80%.
From the results, the prepared alpha-toxin protein truncation body has good immunogenicity, can play a 100% protection role, has equivalent immune effect with the existing market vaccine (inactivated vaccine), and has better immunogenicity than the alpha-toxin protein truncation body prepared by the prior art. Because we use protein as antigen, the vaccine has obvious advantages compared with the existing inactivated vaccine: 1) the safety problem caused by incomplete inactivation does not exist; 2) the quality is controllable, and the difference between batches does not exist; 3) the production equipment and space requirements are low, the expression level is high, and the cost is low; 4) the risk of toxin (bacteria) dispersion does not exist, and the safety of production operators is guaranteed. In addition, the prepared alpha-toxin protein truncation can realize industrial production (whether industrial production can be highlighted or not is not highlighted in the prior art patent, and the specific yield can be reached is not clear), the expression yield of escherichia coli can reach 800mg/L, if the prior art is optimized, the expression yield can be further increased, so that the production cost can be remarkably reduced, and the popularization and the application of the vaccine are facilitated.
The invention is illustrated by the above examples, but it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the particular examples and embodiments described herein. These specific examples and embodiments are included to assist those skilled in the art in practicing the present invention. Further modifications and improvements will readily occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and, accordingly, it is intended that the invention be limited only by the terms of the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such terms are entitled.
