Description

Paratuberculosis subunit vaccine and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a paratuberculosis subunit vaccine, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of medicines.
Background
Paratuberculosis (Paratuberculosis), also known as Johne's disease, JD, is a chronic wasting infectious disease caused by mycobacterium paratuberculosis (Mycobacterium avium subsp. Paratuberculosis, MAP) that causes granulomatous enteritis in ruminants such as cattle and sheep, and is a typical condition, JD clinically manifests as refractory diarrhea, decreased milk production, severe wasting, anemia and somnolence, eventually dying from exacerbation. JD not only causes a huge economic loss to the livestock breeding industry, but also threatens public health safety.
Because JD has the problems of long latency, insignificant subclinical symptoms, poor treatment effect, imperfect detection methods, etc., in order to reduce the risk of infection, the main prevention and control strategy for killing diseased animals is still to be adopted at present. However, detection and killing of positive animals has not achieved the expected effect so far, and thus it is necessary to pay attention again to JD vaccine, and immunoprophylaxis remains an effective way to prevent JD problems worldwide. The ideal vaccination not only can effectively reduce economic loss caused by killing and MAP dropping of diseased animals, but also can effectively reduce clinical infection cases and the like. At present, JD vaccines are mainly divided into three major classes, namely whole cell inactivated vaccines, attenuated live vaccines and subunit vaccines.
Currently, common commercial MAP whole cell inactivated vaccines include Mycopar, gudair and Silirum. Mycopar consists of inactivated Mycobacterium avium subspecies 18 strain (P18) and mineral oil adjuvant, can reduce clinical morbidity and MAP shedding after inoculation, is suitable for herds with high MAP infection rate or herds with limited implementation of paratuberculosis control measures, but the vaccine is derived from P18 strain of Mycobacterium avium subspecies (MAA), can not provide immunogenicity completely similar to MAP, has no effect on reducing the MAP quantity in infected tissues, and can also interfere with quarantine and JD diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis. The attenuated live vaccine is prepared from MAP attenuated strain and oil adjuvant, and is used for immunoprophylaxis of cattle and sheep JD. MAP attenuated strains are obtained by knocking out 1 or more virulence genes of MAP by adopting technologies such as transposon mutation, allele exchange, phage mediation and the like, and the MAP attenuated strains are proved to have good virulence reduction and immunogenicity. Studies show that the attenuated live vaccine can induce high-level IFN-gamma production and has obvious protection effects in the aspects of reducing inflammation, eliminating acid-fast bacteria and the like. Attenuated live vaccines employing a variety of antigen libraries are capable of eliciting immunoprotection against MAP infection by stimulating innate and adaptive immunity. After inoculation of MAP transposon mutants, the spleen bacterial load of mice was significantly reduced. In a small ruminant infection model, two LAV candidate deletion strains MAP delta relA and MAP delta leuD obtained by using an allele exchange technology have a protection effect on the challenge of immune goats and calves, and can reduce the shedding of MAP in feces, but 80% of animals still have lesions in an infection experiment in immune sheep, and the cattle can interfere with quarantine of bovine tuberculosis after being vaccinated with MAP attenuated live vaccines, and risk of virulence return exists, especially in individuals with low immune functions and calves. Subunit vaccine is prepared from recombinant MAP protein with definite components or DNA encoding immunogenic antigen, and compared with attenuated live vaccine, the subunit vaccine has no toxicity, no risk of strong return, reduced inflammation and granuloma formation at inoculation site, and no interference to bovine tuberculosis and JD quarantine. However, none of the subunit vaccines tested to date provide complete protection in the mouse infection model. Subunit vaccines have a short half-life in vivo and therefore often require multiple immunizations and the use of adjuvants to achieve protective effects.
MAP3527 is a trypsin-like serine protease containing a PDZ domain at the C-terminus. MAP3527 and Rv0125 have homologous regions, the amino acid homologous regions are up to 75.4%, and Rv0125 can induce CD4+ and CD8+ T cells to generate IFN-gamma, which indicates that Rv0125 is a good protein antigen. P22 is an immunogenic MAP lipoprotein, belonging to the Mycobacterium lipoprotein LppX/LprAFG family. P22 is also a candidate protein for serological detection of MAP, and antibodies against P22 protein can be detected in naturally infected cattle. Ag85B (MAP 1609 c) belongs to one of the Ag85 protein family members, which is the most secreted group of proteins with phytase activity in mycobacteria. It is reported that recombinant protein 66NC constructed by using MAP3527 and Ag85B in a mouse model can induce a strong immune response in mice after combined immunization with MONTANIDE ISA 61 VG adjuvant, and provides a good protection effect on MAP attack.
In summary, since there is a defect in the existing paratuberculosis vaccine due to the lack of effective treatment methods and the increase of raising cost caused by the elimination of diseased animals, the development of a novel paratuberculosis vaccine with good immune effect has become an urgent need for immunoprophylaxis.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a paratuberculosis subunit vaccine, and a preparation method and application thereof.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical means:
The invention constructs 2 recombinant plasmids pET-28a-3527N-1609C-P22-3527C and pET-28a-3527N-P22-1609C-3527C by utilizing MAP3527, MAP1609C (Ag 85B) and P22 genes of MAP, transfers the recombinant plasmids into escherichia coli BL21 for culturing and expressing, successfully obtains 2 recombinant proteins after purification by Ni column affinity chromatography, and is respectively named as 89AP and 89PA according to the size and arrangement mode. Using purified 2 recombinant proteins 89AP and 89PA, the MONTANIDE ISA 61 VG adjuvant was emulsified with the protein, injected subcutaneously in multiple spots, and immunized mice were screened twice every three weeks with IFN- γelispot experiments, compared to the reported Ag 85B-containing fusion protein 66NC, P22-containing fusion protein 58F, and the ag85b+p22 mixed protein, and PBS was used as a negative control. The results show that the recombinant antigen 89AP can induce mice to produce high levels of IFN-gamma, which is obviously higher than control proteins (66 NC, 58F, 66NC+58F and Ag85B+P22 mixed proteins), and the immune effect of the 89AP is better than that of the control proteins.
In addition, in order to verify the intradermal allergic reaction condition of the bovine tuberculin and the paratuberculin after 89AP protein immunization of guinea pigs, the invention applies the bovine tuberculin and the paratuberculin to carry out intradermal allergic reaction detection on the 89AP protein and other immunized guinea pigs, and compares the allergic reaction difference of the 89AP immune group and 66NC immune group, BCG immune group, K-10 immune group and PBS control group. The results show that under the condition that the BCG immunity, the K-10 immunity positive control result and the PBS negative control result are all established, no delayed type allergy appears at the inoculation positions of the 89AP immunity group and the 66NC immunity group (48 h), and strong allergic reactions appear on the 89AP protein stimulation and the 66NC immunity group on the 66NC protein stimulation, so that the 89AP protein does not interfere with quarantine of tuberculosis and paratuberculosis after the 89AP protein is used for immunizing guinea pigs, therefore, the 89AP is an ideal candidate recombinant subunit vaccine and can be used as a candidate subunit vaccine for preventing JD.
