摘要:

摘要:【目的】构建传染性法氏囊病毒VP2 蛋白展示禽流感M2e 抗原表位的重组蛋白，研发预防H5 或H9亚型禽流感和传染性法氏囊的基因工程疫苗。【方法】根据现有禽流感疫苗株M2e 的氨基端12 个氨基酸多肽序列(nM2e)序列，结合GenBank 中H5 和H9 亚型禽流感病毒nM2e 的比对结果，确定nM2e 序列。用融合PCR 分别将1 拷贝H5 或H9 的nM2e 序列插入IBD B87株VP2基因的PBC区，获得VP2BC nM2e 重组基因。将重组基因克隆至杆状病毒表达系统，转染Sf9细胞进行表达。经间接免疫荧光和Western blotting 检测Sf9细胞表达重组基因后，扩繁重组病毒，制备疫苗，间隔4 周对非免鸡作2 次重复免疫，用间接ELISA和鸡胚成纤维细胞中的病毒血清中和试验检测血清中VP2 和nM2e 的抗体效价。【结果】成功构建含H5 或H9 nM2e的VP2BC nM2e重组基因，该重组基因在Sf9 细胞中得到表达。经免疫鸡，两重组蛋白均能激发针对VP2和nM2e的抗体，VP2BC nM2eH5 组抗体效价高于VP2BC nM2eH9组。【结论】两重组蛋白均具有免疫原性，VP2BCnM2eH5免疫原性更佳。

Abstract:

Abstract:［Objective］We developed subunit vaccines against H5 or H9 subtype avian influenza viruses (AIV) and infectious bursal disease viruses (IBDV) ．Viral protein 2 (VP2) of IBDV was used as cargo protein to display a 12-amino-acid (aa) immunodominant epitope derived from N-terminal M2 extracelluar domain (nM2e) of H5 or H9 subtype AIV．［Methods］The aa and nucleotide sequence of nM2e was determined by comparing the available avian influenza vaccine strains and alignment the AIV sequence available in GenBank． One copy of H5 or H9 nM2e was inserted into PBC region of VP2 origin from IBDV B87 vaccine strain by fusion polymerase chain reaction． The VP2BC nM2e recombinants were cloned into Bac-to-Bac expression system and transfected to Sf9 cell． The expressed chimeric protein was characterized by indirect immunofluorescence assay and Western blotting，and subsequently was used as antigen to develop vaccine． The non-immunized chicken was given two injections with the vaccine at a 4-week interval． Serum against VP2 and nM2e was tested by indirect ELISA and virus neutralization in chick embryo fibroblast． ［Results］ Both VP2BC nM2e recombinants were successfully constructed and expressed in Sf9 cell． Both chimeric proteins elicited antibody against VP2 and nM2e． The antibody level elicited by VP2BC nM2eH5 vaccine was higher than that of VP2BC nM2eH9．［Conclusion］Both chimeric proteins were immunigenic，and the efficacy of VP2BC nM2eH5 was higher than VP2BC nM2eH9 in chicken．
