Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 was selected as an antigen delivery vehicle for mucosal immunization against porcine parvovirus (PPV) infection. A 64-kDa fragment of PPV major protective antigen VP2 protein was used as the parvovirus antigen model. A recombinant Lactobacillus expressing VP2 protein was constructed with plasmid pPG611.1, where expression and localization of the VP2 protein from recombinant Lc393-rPPV-VP2 was detected via sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence. Both local mucosal and systemic immune responses against PPV were induced in BALB/c mice immunized orally with the recombinant Lactobacillus expressing VP2 protein. The induced antibodies demonstrated neutralizing effects on PPV infection. These data indicated that the use of recombinant lactobacilli could be a valuable strategy for future vaccine development of PPV.
干酪乳杆菌ATCC 393被选作一种抗原递送载体,用于针对猪细小病毒(PPV)感染进行黏膜免疫。PPV主要保护性抗原VP2蛋白的一个64 kDa片段被用作细小病毒抗原模型。用质粒pPG611.1构建了表达VP2蛋白的重组乳杆菌,通过十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳、蛋白质印迹法和免疫荧光检测重组Lc393-rPPV-VP2中VP2蛋白的表达和定位。用表达VP2蛋白的重组乳杆菌经口免疫BALB/c小鼠后,诱导了针对PPV的局部黏膜和全身免疫反应。诱导产生的抗体对PPV感染具有中和作用。这些数据表明,使用重组乳杆菌可能是未来PPV疫苗开发的一种有价值的策略。
