Abstract

The invention discloses construction and application of an IBV S1 and Cps MOMP gene bivalent epitope vaccine. The method mainly comprises the steps of screening the IBV S1 gene and the Cps MOMP gene through online biological software, and connecting the screened epitopes by using connecting peptide to construct a new peptide segment M with high immunogenicity and small side effect. The M, S and MOMP tandem genes were respectively connected to eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1 to construct 3 groups of recombinant plasmids pEGFP-M, pEGFP-S1-MOMP and pEGFP-M-S1-MOMP. After entering the organism, the immune system can firstly start the self cell and humoral immunity function, and then start the immune reaction through the specific antigens of IBV S1 and Cps MOMP, thereby realizing the polygenic synergistic immune effect and providing test basis and theoretical support for the research of gene vaccines of IBV and Cps.

Background
Infectious Bronchitis (IB) and avian chlamydia (Ac) are the most common respiratory diseases in poultry and often present with mixed infections, causing serious economic losses to the poultry industry. Currently, the prevention of IBV and Cps is mainly achieved by using inactivated and attenuated vaccines. Because the traditional vaccine has the defects of immunosuppression, non-neutralization epitope, potential disease treatment area, easy toxin return and the like, the traditional vaccine is unfavorable for disease control, and therefore, the research of the novel vaccine is particularly critical. Epitope vaccines exhibit some advantages including high specificity, good safety, easiness in production and storage, strong stability and the like, so that the epitope vaccines are increasingly focused in the field of vaccine research. In addition, the genetic engineering bigeminal vaccine can reduce the stress and save the cost when the animal is immunized, and the aim of preventing multiple animals by one needle is fulfilled.
The aim of the research is to carry out epitope screening on IBV S1 genes and Cps MOMP genes through online biological software, the screened epitopes are connected through connecting peptide, a new peptide segment M with high immunogenicity and small side effect is constructed, the new peptide segment M can firstly start self cell and humoral immunity function after entering an organism, and then the immune reaction is started through IBV S1 and Cps MOMP specific antigens, so that the polygenic synergistic immune effect is realized, and experimental basis and theoretical support are provided for gene vaccine research of IBV and Cps.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problems that the infectious bronchitis and the chlamydia disease of chickens are the two most common infectious diseases in the poultry industry, have similar clinical symptoms, are not easy to distinguish and are mixed infection. Avian chlamydia can infect humans through avian infections, not only causing serious economic losses to the poultry industry, but also causing a threat to human health. Therefore, there is a real need to develop a vaccine that can prevent both diseases together. Relevant reports on the prediction and design of IBV S1 epitope and Cps MOMP epitope exist at present, but research reports on multi-epitope DNA vaccine based on IBVS1 and Cps MOMP are not found yet. The test aims at establishing a multi-epitope DNA vaccine which can simultaneously prevent infectious bronchitis and avian chlamydia.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
the invention firstly discloses three groups of recombinant plasmids pEGFP-M, pEGFP-S1-MOMP and pEGFP-M-S1-MOMP, which are characterized in that the nucleotide sequence of the inserted genes of the plasmids is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1-3.

1) Firstly, predicting dominant antigen epitopes of an IBV S1 gene and a Cps MOMP gene, connecting the screened epitopes, analyzing physicochemical properties, hydrophilicity, protein secondary and tertiary structures, and constructing a peptide segment which has good antigenicity and no side effect and is named as M;
2) Constructing 3 groups of recombinant plasmids pEGFP-M, pEGFP-S1-MOMP and pEGFP-M-S1-MOMP by taking pEGFP-N1 as a vector; and the recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid is introduced into competent cells by a cold-hot alternation methodDH5α
3) The recombinant plasmid is transfected into DF-1 cells to successfully express fluorescence, and Western Blotting and IFA tests prove that the target protein is successfully expressed;
4) The recombinant plasmids pEGFP-M, pEGFP-S1-MOMP and pEGFP-M-S1-MOMP are used for immunizing 7-day-old chicks, and the specific antibody, the cytokine and the T lymphocyte molecular level are detected;
5) Pathological tissue sections and organ index measurements were performed.
The invention also discloses a recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid of the IBV S1 and Cps MOMP genes bigeminal epitope genes. And constructing a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1 and evaluating the immunity level of the chicks.
The invention also discloses application of the construction method of the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1 of the IBV S1 and Cps MOMP and the epitope protein M in preventing infectious bronchitis and avian chlamydia. The experimental results show that: the constructed epitope protein has stable structure, good immunogenicity and no side effect; the recombinant plasmids pEGFP-M, pEGFP-S1-MOMP and pEGFP-M-S1-MOMP are verified to be consistent with the expected size, and can be normally expressed when transfected into DF-1 cells. The levels of anti-IBV IgG and anti-Cps IgG antibodies were significantly increased in the chicken serum of the 3 plasmid-immunized group after four-immunization (P < 0.01) compared to the control group (pEGFP-N1 and PBS groups); the levels of cytokines IFN-gamma and IL-4, and the levels of T lymphocyte antigens CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ in chicken serum were significantly or very significantly higher than in the control group (pEGFP-N1 group and PBS group) (P <0.05 or P < 0.01). The result shows that the constructed multi-epitope DNA vaccine pEGFP-M can excite humoral immunity and cellular immune response of chickens, and lays a foundation for developing the multi-epitope vaccine for simultaneously preventing infectious bronchitis and avian chlamydia.
