罗非鱼无乳链球菌LrrG-Sip融合蛋白免疫原性研究

Immunogenicity analysis of LrrG-Sip fusion protein of Streptococcus agalactiae in tilapia

  • 摘要: 为探究无乳链球菌LrrG(Leucine-rich repeat protein from GBS)和表面免疫原性蛋白Sip(surface immunogenic protein)串联表达的LrrG-Sip重组融合蛋白的免疫原性,该研究将原核表达的LrrG-Sip重组融合蛋白分别以0.5 μg·g-1(R1组)、1.0 μg·g-1(R2组)和1.5 μg·g-1(R3组)每尾200 μL腹腔注射免疫尼罗罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus),同时以Sip蛋白(S组)、LrrG蛋白(L组)以及PBS(P组)作为对照。2周后对所有免疫鱼体进行无乳链球菌(Streptococcus agalactiae)人工攻毒,攻毒剂量为其半致死浓度(LD50:4.0×108 CFU·mL-1)。结果显示LrrG-Sip重组融合蛋白R1组对尼罗罗非鱼的相对免疫保护率最高,达89.14%;且免疫后第14和第28天,该组鱼体血清抗体OD450 nm值分别达0.63和0.64,均显著高于单一蛋白对照组(S和L组)和PBS组(P < 0.05);R1组鱼体血清过氧化物酶(POD)和碱性磷酸酶(AKP)活性在上述2个时间点也显著高于其他组(P < 0.05);但溶菌酶(LZM)和总超氧化物歧化酶(T-SOD)活性与其他组之间差异不显著(P>0.05)。初步表明LrrG-Sip重组融合蛋白具有良好的免疫原性,其免疫原性明显优于单个蛋白,且能有效减少免疫剂量。

     

    Abstract: To evaluate the immunogenicity of LrrG-Sip recombinant fusion protein, we immunized Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by intraperitoneal (IP) injection with 200 μL LrrG-Sip recombinant fusion protein at dose of 0.5 μg·g-1 (R1 group), 1.0 μg·g-1 (R2 group) and 1.5 μg·g-1 (R3 group), respectively. Meanwhile, control groups of Nile tilapia were IP injected with 200 μL Sip protein (1.0 μg·g-1, S group), 200 μL LrrG protein (1.0 μg·g-1, L group) and 200 μL sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, P group), respectively. On 15th day, all of the immunized fish (groups of R, S, L and P) were challenged with Streptococcus agalactiae by IP injection at LD50 dose of 100 μL (containing 4.0×108 CFU·mL-1). Results show that the relative percent survival (RPS) of fish from group R1 (0.5 μg·g-1) was the highest (89.14 %). The OD450 nm values of serum antibody of fish from group R1 were 0.63 and 0.64 on 14th day and 28th day post-immunization, respectively, significantly higher than those of the other groups (S and L)(P < 0.05).The activity of peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase of fish serum from this group was also significantly higher than that of the other groups at the above two time points (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the activity of lysozyme and total superoxide dismutase of fish serum among different protein immunization groups(P>0.05). The results suggest that LrrG-Sip fusion protein has better immunogenicity than single protein LrrG or Sip, which can also reduce the injection dose effectively.
