HEV 239是福建省医学分子病毒学研究中心实验室研制的一种戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)重组颗粒性蛋白疫苗,该文旨在研究HEV239蛋白疫苗在小鼠体内诱导产生特异性免疫应答的情况。将5μg HEV 239蛋白疫苗(239-Pro)、加铝佐剂疫苗(239-Vac)或加弗氏佐剂疫苗(239-CFA)肌肉注射免疫BALB/c鼠3次,第8周检测鼠血清抗HEV抗体及其亚类,同时用ELISPOT方法检测细胞毒性T细胞(CTL)应答。结果显示:239-Vac诱导的抗体滴度与239-CFA相当,高于无佐剂的239-Pro。239-Vac诱导的抗体中,IgG1/IgG2a比值显著高于239-CFA和239-Pro,主要为Th2型应答。除239-CFA之外,239-Vac和239-Pro也可诱导出一定的HEV抗原特异性I型Tc应答。提示:重组抗原HEV 239能诱导良好的抗体应答及一定的Tc1应答。
探讨了应用多质粒磷酸钙共转染方法在293FT细胞中生产HPV16(human papillomavirus type 16)假病毒。蛋白印迹检测显示在转染后细胞的裂解上清中具有很好的L1蛋白活性,通过透射电镜可观察到形态与天然病毒粒子相似的假病毒颗粒。对293FT细胞的感染实验显示,该假病毒可有效将EGFP报告质粒导入靶细胞中进行表达,经测定其滴度约为2×107TU/mL。通过与4株HPV16对照单抗的中和实验证明该假病毒可有效应用于中和实验。应用该方法从18株抗HPV16L1的单克隆抗体中鉴定获得了2株中和单抗3D10、PD1。所建立的HPV16假病毒生产和中和实验方法具有快速高效、低成本和易于检测的优点,适于进行较大规模应用,为快速准确鉴定HPV16中和单抗和候选疫苗的免疫保护效果提供了有效手段。
In this paper, a new eukaryotic bi-cistronic expression vector containing Hepatitis C Virus(HCV) internal ribosome entry site (IRES) expressing two foreign genes from one mRNA was constructed. The sequence starting from the 5’ untranslated region of 18nt to 32nt in HCV core coding region was cloned and then the encephalomyocarditis virus (ECMV) IRES sequence in the commercial vector pIRES was substituted to construct a new vector pCVIR. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) coding genes were inserted up-stream and down-stream of IRES sequence. The fluorescence intensity of GFP and HBsAg were determined by flow cytometry and ELISA respectively., thus, the expression efficiency of the two vectors, pCVIR and pIRES could be compared. The experimental results showed that the vector pCVIR could translate the GFP and HBsAg genes down-stream of its HCV IRES sequence more efficiently without impairing the expression of genes up-stream of IRES sequence than the vector pIRES.It is concluded that a new eukaryotic bi-cistronic expression vector containing HCV IRES was constructed successfully by the method described above.
