The house dust mite species Dermatophagoides farinae releases allergens that cause allergies and asthma worldwide. This study sought to clone and express the full-length cDNA encoding the group 9 allergen of D. farinae (Der f 9).
The published sequence of Der f 9 was used to design primers for RT-PCR and RACE to obtain the full-length cDNA encoding Der f 9. After removal of signal peptide sequence, Der f 9 was then sub-cloned into plasmid pET-28b (+), and the plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells for expression. The recombinant protein was purified by Nickel affinity chromatography, identified by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, dot blotting, and MALDI-TOF, and tested by ELISA for IgE reactivity with sera from children with asthma. Bioinformatics analyses were used to identify features of Der f 9.
By RT-PCR, 3'-RACE, and 5'-RACE, the full-length sequence of Der f 9 was generated, which was confirmed by nucleotide sequencing. The mature Der f 9 was expressed successfully in E. coli, which was identified by SDS-PAGE. The recombinant allergen was purified by chromatography and confirmed by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, dot blotting, and MALDI-TOF. Sera from 56.7% (17/30) of mite-allergic patients reacted with the purified recombinant Der f 9.
The successful production of recombinant Der f 9 protein revealed the importance of Der f 9 in mite allergy, and provides a foundation for further study of this allergen in diagnosis and treatment of symptoms. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2017;52:282-292. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
屋尘螨种类中的粉尘螨会释放变应原,在全球范围内引发过敏和哮喘。本研究旨在克隆并表达编码粉尘螨第9组变应原(Der f 9)的全长cDNA。
利用已发表的Der f 9序列设计用于逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和快速扩增cDNA末端(RACE)的引物,以获得编码Der f 9的全长cDNA。去除信号肽序列后,将Der f 9亚克隆到质粒pET-28b(+)中,然后将该质粒转化到大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)细胞中进行表达。重组蛋白通过镍亲和层析进行纯化,通过十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)、蛋白质免疫印迹法、斑点印迹法和基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF)进行鉴定,并通过酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)检测其与哮喘患儿血清的IgE反应性。利用生物信息学分析来确定Der f 9的特征。
通过RT-PCR、3'-RACE和5'-RACE产生了Der f 9的全长序列,经核苷酸测序确认。成熟的Der f 9在大肠杆菌中成功表达,通过SDS-PAGE进行鉴定。重组变应原通过层析进行纯化,并通过SDS-PAGE、蛋白质免疫印迹法、斑点印迹法和MALDI-TOF进行确认。56.7%(17/30)的螨过敏患者血清与纯化的重组Der f 9发生反应。
重组Der f 9蛋白的成功制备揭示了Der f 9在螨过敏中的重要性,并为进一步研究该变应原在症状诊断和治疗中的作用奠定了基础。《儿科肺病学》。2017年;52:282 - 292。©2016威利期刊公司。
