摘要

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the immunoprotective effect of the dominant epitope fusion protein of Klebsiella pneumoniae(KP)outer membrane protein A(OmpA)and adhesin MrkD on KP-infec-ted mice.Methods According to the KP ompA and mrkD sequences published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI),the dominant epitopes of these two proteins were selected through bioin-formatics analysis,and the epitopes were amplified by overlap polymerase chain reaction(PCR).The fu-sion sequence was cloned into the pColdI vector,and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)stored in our department,induced by isopropyl β-D-thiogalactoside(IPTG),and the recombinant protein rAD(recombinant OmpA and MrkD) was obtained after Ni+chromatography gel purification.A total of 22 BALB/c mice were subcutaneously immunized with rAD,and the adjuvant control group was set at the same time.After the immunization procedure,the serum anti-rAD antibody level in the mice and the con-tents of cytokines after rAD stimulation in the spleen supernant in vitro were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and BALB/c mice were challenged intranasally with KP.The survival rate of mice and the CFUs of KP in the lungs were measured.The t test was used for comparison between groups.Results The epitope sequences of ompA and mrkD were respectively amplified and successfully fused.The length of the fusion fragment was 1 056 bp,which was consistent with the predicted size.After being cloned into the pColdI vector and sequenced,the recombinant expression strain BL21(DE3)-pColdI-rAD was induced by IPTG,and the supernatant was collected after ultrasonic cracking then purified to obtain soluble rAD with a size of 38.4 × 103,which was consistent with the predicted size.After the BALB/c mice were boosted twice,the anti-rAD antibody titer in the immunized group was significantly higher than that in the control group(170 667.00±59 121.00 vs.0.00±0.00,t=5.00,P＜0.01).After mice were chal-lenged with KP,the survival rate of the mice in the immunization group was significantly higher than that of the control group[(65.00±5.00)％vs.(0.00±0.00)％,t=22.52,P＜0.01],and the CFUs of KP in the lungs of the mice in the immunization group was significantly lower than those of the control group[(9 500.00±1 384.00)vs.(87 833.00±25 365.00),t=7.55,P＜0.01].After splenocytes were cul-tured and stimulated by rAD in vitro,the counts of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-4(IL-4)and interferon-γ(IFN-γ)in the immune group were significantly higher than those in the control group[(115.70±17.21)pg/ml vs.(24.00±9.17)pg/ml,t=8.14,P＜0.01;(200.30±8.51)vs.(9.00±3.00)pg/ml,t=36.75,P＜0.01;(92.33±6.11)vs.(9.67±1.53)pg/ml,t=22.73,P＜0.01].Conclusion Immunization of BALB/c mice with KP OmpA and MrkD dominant antigen epitope fusion protein rAD contributes to its resistance to KP infection.
