【摘要】 目的研究融合表达结核分枝杆菌分泌蛋白CFP10-ESAT-6或ESAT-6-CFP10免疫学特性。方法将一个柔性的氨基酸接头插入原核表达载体pET32c(+)中,构建pET32c(+)-linker。PCR法扩增CFP10、ESAT-6基因。将CFP10克隆入改建的载体pET32c(+)的linker前,ESAT-6克隆入linker后,构建CFP10-ESAT-6融合基因;或将ESAT-6克隆入改建载体pET32c(+)的linker前,CFP10克隆入linker后,构建ESAT-6-CFP10融合基因,分别转化大肠埃希菌XL1-blue,抽提质粒,酶切鉴定;在大肠埃希菌BL21中表达,通过Westernblot分析其抗原性。结果2个目的基因分别被按顺序成功克隆入载体pET32c(+)的linker前或后。重组质粒pET32c(+)-CFP10-ESAT-6或pET32c(+)-ESAT-6-CFP10靶基因的测序结果与预计序列完全一致。融合蛋白在BL21菌中高效表达。Western blot分析表明,融合蛋白与活性肺结核患者血清能发生特异性免疫反应。结论成功地构建了多抗原基因DNA质粒;pET32c(+)-CFP10-ESAT-6或pET32c(+)-ESAT-6-CFP10质粒在BL21菌中能高效表达rCFP10-ESAT-6或rESAT-6-CFP10融合蛋白,该蛋白兼具CFP10和ESAT-6两种蛋白的抗原性。更多还原

【Abstract】 Objective To study the immunological characteristics of the secreted proteins CFP10-ESAT-6 or EAST-6-CFP10 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by fused expression.Methods A pair of oligodeoxynucleotide named linker encoding 12 glycines and 3 serines was synthesized and cloned into plasmid pET32c(+) to construct pET32c(+)-linker.The CFP10 and ESAT-6 gene were amplified by PCR reaction and cloned into pET32c(+)-linker either ahead of or following linker.The recombinant CFP10-ESAT-6 or EAST-6-CFP10 fusion protein was expressed in E.coli.BL21.Their antigenicity were confirmed by western blot.Results The sequence of recombinant plasmid pET32c(+)-CFP10-ESAT-6 or pET32c(+)-EAST-6-CFP10 was identical to the predicted sequence.The recombinant proteins(rCFP10-ESAT-6 or rEAST-6-CFP10) can expressed effectively in the cytoplasm BL21.Western blot showed that the rCFP10-ESAT-6 or rEAST-6-CFP10 had good immuoreactivity with sera from patients with active tuberculosis.Conclusion Multi-antigen plasmid encoding CFP10 and ESAT-6 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was constructed successfully.The fusion protein CFP10-ESAT-6 or EAST-6-CFP10 was obtained.The fusion proteins have antigenicity of EAST-6 and CFP10.更多还原
