摘要: 目的 筛选蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫(简称贾第虫,Giardia lamblia)α-8贾第素(α-8 giardin)的优势抗原表位肽,并分析其抗原性。 方法 采用DNAstar、Biosun软件及CLUSTAL W软件进行生物信息学分析,筛选出贾第虫α-8 giardin的3个优势抗原表位肽,即G1(7~17 aa)、G2(30~40 aa)和 G3(296~306 aa);3个抗原表位肽分别与钥孔血蓝蛋白(KLH)偶联后(KLH-G1、KLH-G2、KLH-G3)免疫雌性青紫蓝家兔(每组2只),分别行背部皮下多点(8~10点)免疫注射,首次免疫各偶联蛋白0.5 mg/只(每点100 μl)。分别于首次免疫后14、21、28 d进行加强免疫(各偶联蛋白0.2 mg/只),于每次免疫前进行兔耳缘静脉采血,末次加强免疫后7 d颈动脉取血(各50 ml)。用间接ELISA检测3种(KLH-G1、KLH-G2和KLH-G3)免疫抗血清中IgG抗体效价;蛋白质印迹(Western blotting)分析3种免疫抗血清与重组蛋白rGiardin的抗原性。 结果 利用生物信息学相关软件筛选出的贾第虫α-8 giardin 3个候选抗原表位肽分别与KLH偶联后获得3个偶联蛋白(KLH-G1、KLH-G2、KLH-G3),经纯化后蛋白浓度分别为0.66、0.95和0.25 mg/ml。分别于加强免疫家兔后7 d,ELISA检测结果显示,3种(KLH-G1、KLH-G2、KLH-G3)免疫抗血清的抗体效价分别为1∶12800,1∶51200,1∶51200;SDS-PAGE分析结果显示,经纯化后的3种抗血清均在相对分子质量(Mr)约36 000处出现特异性的清晰条带,无其它杂带。Western blotting分析结果显示,3种抗血清均可特异性识别重组蛋白rGiardin。 结论 筛选出的贾第虫α-8 giardin 3个优势抗原表位肽与KLH偶联后免疫家兔,可诱导产生特异性IgG抗体;3种免疫抗血清中的特异性IgG抗体均可识别重组蛋白rGiardin;3个贾第虫α-8 giardin抗原表位肽均有较好的抗原性。

Abstract: Objective To identify the dominant epitopes of α-8 giardin in Giardia lamblia, and analyze their immunoreactivity. Methods Three dominant epitopes G1(7-17 aa), G2(30-40 aa) and G3(296-306 aa) were predicted for α-8 giardin by bioinformatic analysis using DNAstar, Biosun and CLUSTAL W softwares. Each epitope was conjugated to keyhole limpethemocyanin(KLH) and then used to immunize female Chinchilla rabbits via multi-point(8-10 points) subcutaneous injections on the back(0.5 mg conjugate/rabbit, 100 μl at each point). Then the rabbits were boosted(0.2 mg conjugate/rabbit) on days 14, 21 and 28 after the first immunization. Blood was collected prior to each immunization, and carotid artery blood(50 ml) was collected on day 7 after the last immunization. The antibody titer for anti-KLH-G1, anti-KLH-G2 and anti-KLH-G3 sera was determined with indirect ELISA. The reactivity of the three anti-sera with recominant giardin(rGiardin) was analyzed with Western blotting. Results The concentration of the purified conjugates KLH-G1, KLH-G2, and KLH-G3 was 0.66, 0.95 and 0.25 mg/ml, respectively. ELISA showed that the antibody titer for anti-KLH-G1, anti-KLH-G2 and anti-KLH-G3 sera was 1∶12800, 1∶51200, 1∶51200, respectively. SDS-PAGE revealed a specific band at Mr 36 000 for the three anti-sera. Western blotting showed that the three anti-sera all specifically recognized rGiardin. Conclusion Immunization with the KLH-G1, KLH-G2, and KLH-G3 conjugates induced production of specific IgG antibody in rabbits, which can recognize rGiardin.
