Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a contagious intestinal disease caused by porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and dehydration, which have caused huge economic losses around the world. At present, vaccine immunity is still the most effective method to control the spread of PED. In this study, we have constructed a novel recombinant L. casei-OMP16-PEDVS strain expressing PEDVS protein of PEDV and OMP16 protein of Brucella abortus strain. To know the immunogenicity of the recombinant L. casei-OMP16-PEDVS candidate vaccine, it was compared with BL21-OMP16-PEDVS-F, BL21-OMP16-PEDVS, and BL21-PEDVS recombinant protein.
The results showed that we could detect higher levels of IgG, neutralizing antibody, IL-4, IL-10, and INF-γ in serum and IgA in feces of L. casei-OMP16-PEDVS immunized mice, which indicated that L. casei-OMP16-PEDVS candidate vaccine could induce higher levels of humoral immunity, cellular immunity, and mucosal immunity.
Therefore, L. casei-OMP16-PEDVS is a promising candidate vaccine for prophylaxis of PEDV infection.
猪流行性腹泻(PED)是一种由猪流行性腹泻病毒(PEDV)引起的传染性肠道疾病,其特征为呕吐、腹泻、食欲不振和脱水,这在世界范围内造成了巨大的经济损失。目前,疫苗免疫仍然是控制 PED 传播的最有效方法。在本研究中,我们构建了一种新型重组乳杆菌-OMP16-PEDVS 菌株,表达 PEDV 蛋白和布鲁氏菌 abortus 菌株的 OMP16 蛋白。为了了解重组乳杆菌-OMP16-PEDVS 候选疫苗的免疫原性,我们将其与 BL21-OMP16-PEDVS-F、BL21-OMP16-PEDVS 和 BL21-PEDVS 重组蛋白进行了比较。
结果表明,我们可以检测到更高水平的 IgG、中和抗体、IL-4、IL-10 和 INF-γ 在血清和 IgA 中粪便的乳杆菌-OMP16-PEDVS 免疫的小鼠,这表明乳杆菌-OMP16-PEDVS 候选疫苗可以诱导更高水平的体液免疫、细胞免疫和黏膜免疫。
因此,乳杆菌-OMP16-PEDVS 是一种有前途的预防 PEDV 感染的候选疫苗。
