INTRODUCTION: Severe intestinal infections caused by V. cholerae, ETEC and EHEC have contributed to the mortality rate in developing countries. Vibrio Cholera, ETEC and EHEC bacterium with the production of CT, LT and Stx2 toxins respectively lead to severe watery and bloody diarrhea. This study aimed to investigate a trimeric vaccine candidate containing recombinant chimeric protein, encapsulate the protein in chitosan nanoparticles and assess its immunogenicity. METHODS: The LSC recombinant gene was used. It is composed of LTB (L), STXB (S) and CTXB (C) subunits respectively. The LSC recombinant protein was expressed and purified and confirmed by western blotting. The purified protein was encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles, and its size was measured. BalB/c mice were immunized in four groups through oral and injection methods by LSC protein. The antibody titer was then evaluated by ELISA, and finally, the challenge test of the toxins from all three bacteria was done on the immunized mouse. RESULTS: After expression and purification LSC protein size of nanoparticles containing protein was measured at 104.6 nm. Nanoparticles were able to induce systemic and mucosal immune responses by generating a useful titer of IgG and IgA. The challenge results with LT, CT and Stx toxins showed that the LSC protein might partially neutralize the effect of toxins. CONCLUSION: LSC chimeric protein with the simultaneous three essential antigens have a protective effect against the toxins produced by ETEC, EHEC and Vibrio cholera bacteria and it can be used in vaccines to prevent Diarrhea caused by these three bacteria.
简介:由霍乱弧菌、肠产毒性大肠杆菌(ETEC)和肠出血性大肠杆菌(EHEC)引起的严重肠道感染导致发展中国家的死亡率上升。霍乱弧菌、ETEC 和 EHEC 细菌分别产生 CT、LT 和 Stx2 毒素,导致严重的水样和血性腹泻。本研究旨在探索一种包含重组嵌合蛋白的三聚体疫苗候选物,将该蛋白包裹在壳聚糖纳米粒子中,并评估其免疫原性。
方法:使用 LSC 重组基因,它由 LTB(L)、STXB(S)和 CTXB(C)亚基组成。表达和纯化 LSC 重组蛋白,并通过 Western blot 进行验证。将纯化的蛋白包裹在壳聚糖纳米粒子中,并测量其大小。通过口服和注射两种方式,将 LSC 蛋白免疫 BalB/c 小鼠,共分为 4 组。然后通过 ELISA 评估抗体滴度,最后对免疫小鼠进行三种细菌毒素的攻毒试验。
结果:表达和纯化后,纳米粒子中含蛋白的 LSC 蛋白大小为 104.6nm。纳米粒子能够通过产生有用的 IgG 和 IgA 滴度来诱导系统和黏膜免疫反应。对 LT、CT 和 Stx 毒素的攻毒结果表明,LSC 蛋白可能部分中和了毒素的作用。
结论:同时含有三种必需抗原的 LSC 嵌合蛋白对 ETEC、EHEC 和霍乱弧菌产生的毒素具有保护作用,可用于预防这三种细菌引起的腹泻。
