Abstract

Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct), an obligate intracellular parasite, is the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. The best solution to control the spread of Ct is to develop safe and effective vaccines. However, an effective vaccine has not been developed due to some challenges such as selection of appropriate candidate antigens and an effective delivery system. In our previous study, we have developed a Ct vaccine that comprises a multi-epitope peptide of Ct major outer membrane protein (MOMP) and Hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg). The vaccine was evaluated in a murine model with chlamydial genital infection. The results indicated that Ct MOMP multi-epitope delivered by HBcAg could be an effective vaccine for the prevention of Ct. In this study, another two epitopes were selected from the MOMP protein and tandemly linked with MOMP to enhance the immunogenicity and the protective effect of the candidate vaccine. Our results revealed that both the immunogenicity and the protective effect of the tandem Ct MOMP multi-epitopes were much better than that of the single epitope. Therefore, vaccines based on the tandem Ct MOMP multi-epitopes could be more effective immune prophylactics to prevent Ct infection than the single epitope in murine model system.

摘要

沙眼衣原体(Ct)是一种专性细胞内寄生虫,是全球细菌性性传播疾病的主要病因。控制Ct传播的最佳解决方案是开发安全有效的疫苗。然而,由于一些挑战,如选择合适的候选抗原和有效的递送系统,尚未开发出有效的疫苗。在我们之前的研究中,我们开发了一种Ct疫苗,其包含Ct主要外膜蛋白(MOMP)的多表位肽和乙型肝炎病毒核心抗原(HBcAg)。该疫苗在衣原体性生殖器感染的小鼠模型中进行了评估。结果表明,由HBcAg递送的Ct MOMP多表位可能是预防Ct的有效疫苗。在本研究中,从MOMP蛋白中选择了另外两个表位,并与MOMP串联连接,以增强候选疫苗的免疫原性和保护作用。我们的结果显示,串联Ct MOMP多表位的免疫原性和保护作用均明显优于单表位。因此,在小鼠模型系统中,基于串联Ct MOMP多表位的疫苗可能比单表位更有效地预防Ct感染。
