摘要: 目的通过筛选引起马流产4沙门氏菌( Salmonella共同的优势抗原,建立一种敏感高、特异强的通用型间接ELISAiELISA抗体检测方法,实现对马群中沙门氏菌抗体快速高通量检测方法首先利用马流产沙门氏菌阳性血清、阴性血清分别与马流产沙门氏菌全菌抗原进行免疫共沉淀(pull down)试验,筛选出马流产沙门氏菌优势抗原;根据质谱分析结果找到优势抗原基因,将优势抗原基因与其他3种致马流产沙门氏菌病的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌、都柏林沙门氏菌、肠炎沙门氏菌进行序列比对验证其保守性;其次根据抗原性分析对优势抗原编码基因进行分段表达,设计3对引物,利用聚合酶链式反应(polymerase chain reaction,PCR)扩增沙门氏菌优势抗原基因并将其分别克隆至原核表达载体pET28a测序分析后将构建正确的重组质粒分别转化入大肠杆菌(Escherichia Coli E.coli)Rosetta(DE3)加入0.6 mmol·L-1异丙基-β-D-硫代半乳糖甘(Isopropy-β-D-thiogalactoside,IPTG)进行诱导表达观察蛋白的表达形式;蛋白纯化后通过Western blot验证蛋白的反应原性和广谱性然后利用纯化后蛋白作为包被抗原,通过对包被抗原量、血清和第二抗体浓度等条件进行优化建立马流产沙门氏菌病间接ELISA抗体诊断方法,并对该方法的特异性、敏感性进行评估。最后将该方法应用于试验感染马血清及临床样本的检测,并将检测结果同凝集试验结果比较。结果筛选出的马流产沙门氏菌优势抗原是ompA(Outer Membrane Protein, OMP),通过序列比对,该蛋白氨基酸序列与同属鼠伤寒沙门氏菌、都柏林沙门氏菌、肠炎沙门氏菌同源性99.4%100%,具有很好的保守性;PCR扩增后成功获得3条与预期符合的目的基因;成功构建了pET28a-ompA1pET28a-ompA2pET28a-ompA3  3个重组质粒。SDS-PAGE结果表明,在240.6 mmol·L-1 IPTG诱导5 h下,含有pET28a-ompA1pET28a-ompA2 pET28a-ompA3的重组菌均表达了相应蛋白,其中重组ompA1ompA2蛋白以包涵体形式表达,重组ompA3蛋白以可溶性形式表达;Western blot显示,重组蛋白ompA3可与马流产沙门氏菌、鼠伤寒沙门氏菌、都柏林沙门氏菌、肠炎沙门氏菌阳性血清发生特异性反应,证明重组ompA3蛋白具有良好的反应原性,可以作为沙门氏菌属抗血清检测用抗原;以ompA3蛋白作为包被抗原建立了间接ELISA方法,在最大P/N确定的最佳反应条件如下:最佳包被抗原浓度为1μg·mL-1,待检血清(1:20037作用1h,酶标抗马二抗(1:10 000稀释),TMB37孵育10min,待检血清OD450>0.143判定为阳性,特异性试验结果显示,该包被抗原与常见马传染病阳性血清无交叉反应。通过对沙门氏菌静脉注射感染马的血清样品进行抗体检测,iELISA可以持续监测抗体阳性到116 d,相比微量凝集(69 d)多监测了47 d,因此iELISA具有更好地敏感性。利用建立的iELISA方法对8个不同牧场180份血清进行抗体检测,其抗体平均阳性检出率为63.3%比微量凝集阳性检出率高53.9%【结论】成功筛选到了马流产沙门氏菌病4种病原的共同优势抗原ompA、实现了对该蛋白的可溶性表达,建立了马流产沙门氏菌病通用型iELISA抗体诊断方法,该方法可以实现对临床样本马流产沙门氏菌抗体的检测,该方法具有特异性强、敏感性高,可以作为马流产沙门菌病抗体检测的一种有工具。

Abstract: 【ObjectiveThe aim for this study was to identify the predominant antigen of Salmonella and to develop a sensitive, specific and universal iELISA assay for the rapid and accurate detection of Salmonella antibodies in equidae.MethodFor the purpose of screening out dominant antigens for Salmonella abortus equi, immunoprecipitation (pull down) tests were performed using Salmonella abortus equi positive/negative sera with whole bacterium antigens of Salmonella abortus equi.Then, amino acid sequence alignment of the dominant antigen were compared with salmonella typhimurium, salmonella dublin and Salmonella enteritidis to verify it is conservative.Three pairs of specific primers were designed and synthesized according to the nucleotide  sequence of the full ompA gene published in GenBank. Three different lengths of ompA gene was amplified by PCR and then cloned into pET28a vector and transformed Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3) competent cell. The expressed products were analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and Western-blot test after induced by IPTG. The reactivity of the purified protein was verified using S.abortus equi, salmonella typhimurium (s.typhi), salmonella dublin (s.dublin) and S.enteritidis serums and one negative serum by Western blot. An indirect ELISA method for the diagnosis of equine abortion salmonellosis was developed by optimizing the amount of coating antigen, serum and secondary antibody concentrations using the purified ompA3 protein as the coating antigen, and evaluating the specificity and sensitivity of the iELISA, and finally applying the iELISA to detection clinical samples.ResultIn this study, the ompA dominant antigen of S.abortus equi was screened. S.abortus equi ompA is conservative and shows 99.4-100% identical with salmonella typhimurium, salmonella dublin and S.enteritidis strains at the amino acid level.Three target genes were successfully obtained by PCR amplification.Three recombinant plasmids pET28a-ompA1, pET28a-ompA2 and pET28a -ompA3 were successfully constructed. The expressed products were analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and Western-blot test after induced by addition of IPTG to a final concentration of 0.6 mM for 5 h at 24℃. We obtained recombinant ompA1 and ompA2 in a inclusion and soluble recombinant ompA3 proteins. The soluble recombinant ompA3 were identified by Western blot, which can have a specific reaction with four salmonella positive serums, So, the ompA3 was can considered as a potential target candidate for serological detection of Salmonella. An iELISA method was developed in a maximum P/N ratio,using the coating antigen at a concentration of 1 μg/mL, a serum dilution of 1:200 and secondary antibody was 1:10000. The cutoff value is 0.143, an OD450 value over 0.143 was considered as positive. The specificity test showed that the coated antigen did not cross-react with the positive serum of common equine infectious diseases. The iELISA provides better sensitivity by detecting antibodies in intravenously infected horses, as the iELISA can continue to monitor antibody positivity up to 116 days, 47 days longer than microagglutination test(69 days). The established iELISA method was used to detect antibodies in 180 serum samples from 8 different farms. The average positive rate of iELISA antibody was 63.3%, which was 53.9% higher than that of micro agglutination test.ConclusionThe soluble ompA3 protein was successfully expressed, and a universal indirect ELISA antibody method was established for the diagnosis of equine abortus salmonellosis. The method enables detection of antibodies to Salmonella abortus equi in clinical samples.The method has good specificity and sensitivity and could be a promising candidate tools for use in the monitoring of the equine abortus salmonellosis epidemic.
