Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are spherical membrane constructs shed by gram-negative bacteria. OMVs produced by the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi have been identified to contain such virulence factors as OspA, OspB, OspC, and genetic material. However, the function and possible pathogenicity of borrelial OMVs are still undetermined. Therefore, further research on borrelial OMVs is required, and for that a standard method for OMV purification is necessary. Here we describe a successful and reproducible purification of borrelial outer membrane vesicles using concentration, filtration, and ultracentrifugation steps.
细菌外膜囊泡(OMVs)是革兰氏阴性菌脱落的球形膜结构。莱姆病病原体伯氏疏螺旋体产生的 OMVs 已被鉴定含有 OspA、OspB、OspC 等毒力因子和遗传物质。然而,伯氏疏螺旋体 OMVs 的功能和可能的致病性仍未确定。因此,需要进一步研究伯氏疏螺旋体 OMVs,而这需要一种 OMV 纯化的标准方法。本文描述了使用浓缩、过滤和超速离心步骤成功且可重复地纯化伯氏疏螺旋体外膜囊泡的方法。
