摘要:   目的: 用构建的弓形虫pcDNA3-ROP1 真核表达重组质粒, 直接免疫小鼠, 观察其所诱导的细胞及体液免疫反应。方法: 碱裂解法大量制备pcDNA3-ROP1 质粒, 经肌肉注射免疫BALB/c 小鼠, 每鼠注射100 μg,2 w k 后同量加强免疫1 次, 以pcDNA3 空质粒及生理盐水组为对照。分别于免疫后30 d、50 d、70 d 共3 次用MTT 法测定小鼠脾脏T 淋巴细胞增殖活性及NK 细胞活性; 用间接免疫荧光抗体法测定T淋巴细胞亚群数目;ELISA 法测定IgG 抗体滴度。结果: 用pcDNA3-ROP1 质粒免疫小鼠30 d 后, 脾脏明显增大; 免疫组脾淋巴细胞增殖活性明显高于生理盐水及空质粒对照组。NK 细胞杀伤活性3 次的测定结果免疫组均高于对照组。T 细胞亚群, CD4+ 细胞数与对照组相比较无明显变化, 而CD8+ 细胞数显著增高。血清抗体IgG70 d 内检测结果, 与对照组相比较, 无明显增高; 而免疫后90 d 检测明显增高, 抗体滴度1∶100。结论: 用pcDNA3-ROP1 重组质粒DNA免疫小鼠, 可诱导产生细胞及体液免疫应答。

Abstract:  AIM: To observe the immune responses in BALB/c mice vaccinated with the constructed recombinant plasmid, pcDNA3, containing ROP1 gene from Toxoplasma gondii. METHODS: The plasmid DNA obtained by alkaline lysis were injected into the left leg of each mouse at a dosage of 100 μg. A booster vaccine was given using the same dosage two weeks later. Control groups were injected with the pcDNA3 blank plasmid and normal saline, respectively. 30, 50 and 70 days after the booster injection, the proliferation activity of T lymphocytes and the NK cell activity were determined using MTT assay, the number of CD4+/CD8+ T cells with indirect immunofluorescence assay and the titer of IgG antibody by ELISA. RESULTS: The spleens of mice enlarged obviously after immunization with pcDNA3-ROP1. The activity of proliferation of spleen T lymphocytes was higher in the immunization group than in the control groups; The NK cell activity in the immunization group was higher than those of control ones. The number of CD4+ T cells showed no obvious increase but CD8+ T cells obviously increased. The titer of IgG antibody in the immunization group showed no significant increase until 90 days later. CONCLUSION: Vaccination of mice with the recombinant plasmid, pcDNA3-ROP1, could elicit cellular and humoral immune response in mice. \;
