摘要:

【目的】通过建立检测胞内劳森菌(Lawsonia intracellularis, LI)的夹心ELISA方法,进行猪增生性肠炎(porcine proliferative enteropathy, PPE)灭活疫苗研制中抗原含量的测定。【方法】以LI为免疫原免疫新西兰大白兔制备抗LI多克隆抗体;同时免疫6周龄BALB/c小鼠,通过杂交瘤细胞技术制备抗LI单克隆抗体。用Western Blot、间接免疫荧光试验(IFA)和免疫过氧化物酶单层试验(IPMA)对制备的抗体进行鉴定。将单克隆抗体作为捕获抗体,多克隆抗体作为检测抗体,建立检测LI的夹心ELISA方法,优化反应条件,并对该方法进行特异性、敏感性和重复性评价。用优化后的检测方法对灭活后的LI进行定量检测。【结果】制备的多克隆抗体效价达1﹕409 600。经三轮亚克隆后共筛选出3株阳性杂交瘤细胞,分别命名为1B7、3C7、4F10,腹水效价均为1﹕204 800。3株单克隆抗体均与LI发生特异性反应,与肠致病性大肠杆菌(E. coli O157:H7)、猪霍乱沙门氏菌(Salmonella cholerasuis, S. Choleraesuis)、鼠伤寒沙门氏菌(Salmonella typhimurium,S. typhimurium)均无交叉反应。夹心ELISA方法经优化后条件为 : 捕获抗体为4F10;捕获抗体与检测抗体的工作浓度分别为1.25和0.625 μg·mL-1;包被液为磷酸盐缓冲液,包被条件为4 ℃ 14 h;封闭液为1%明胶,封闭条件为37 ℃ 1.5 h;抗原孵育条件为37 ℃ 1 h;检测抗体孵育条件为37 ℃ 0.5 h;酶标抗体稀释度为1﹕16 000,孵育条件为37 ℃ 1.5 h;显色条件为室温孵育10 min。该方法对其他常见的肠道病原菌检测均为阴性,对LI的最低检测限为1×105个/mL,且批内、批间变异系数均小于10%。LI浓度在1×105—1×108个/mL范围内与P/N值呈线性关系,标准方程 : y=2.7349x-11.643(R 2=0.9966)。使用该方法对该实验室制备的PPE灭活疫苗进行抗原定量,结果显示灭活前后抗原含量基本不变,且两组疫苗样品定量结果批内重复性良好。120份猪临床粪便样品检测结果显示,用夹心ELISA方法共检出62份阳性样品,58份阴性样品;用巢式PCR方法共检出67份阳性样品,53份阴性样品。二者的阳性符合率为86.6%,阴性符合率为92.5%,总符合率为89.2%,kappa值为0.78。【结论】成功制备针对LI的多克隆抗体与单克隆抗体,建立并优化了检测LI抗原的夹心ELISA检测方法。该方法特异性与重复性良好,对LI的检测限为1×105个/mL。可用于PPE灭活疫苗制备过程中抗原的定量检测及PPE临床样品的检测。

Abstract:

【Objective】This study established a sandwich ELISA method for detecting Lawsonia intracellularis (L. intracellularis), which could be used to measure antigen content in the development of porcine proliferative enteropathy (PPE) inactivated vaccines.【Method】L. intracellularis was used as the immunogen, and polyclonal antibody against L. intracellularis was obtained by immunizing New Zealand rabbit. Additionally, 6-week-old BALB/c mice were immunized to prepare monoclonal antibodies against L. intracellularis by hybridoma cell technique. The antibodies were identified by Western Blot, indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) and immunoperoxidase monolayer assay (IPMA). A sandwich ELISA method was established for detecting L. intracellularis, using monoclonal antibody as capture antibody and polyclonal antibody as detection antibody. the optimized reaction conditions and the specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility of the method were evaluated. The optimized sandwich ELISA was used to quantify inactivated L. intracellularis.【Result】The polyclonal antibody titer reached 1﹕409 600. After three rounds of subcloning, three positive hybridoma cell lines were screened, named 1B7, 3C7, and 4F10, respectively, and the titer of ascites were all 1﹕204 800. All three monoclonal antibodies had specific reactions with L. intracellularis and showed no cross-reactivity with E.coli O157:H7, S. choleraesuis, and S. typhimurium. The optimal conditions for the sandwich ELISA were as follows: capture antibody was 4F10; working concentrations for capture and detection antibodies were 1.25 and 0.625 μg·mL-1, respectively. The coating solution was phosphate buffer, and the coating condition was 4 ℃ for 14 h. Blocking solution was 1% gelatin and blocking condition was 37 ℃ for 1.5 h. The reaction condition of antigen was 37 ℃ for 1 h, and the reaction condition for detection antibody was 37 ℃ for 0.5 h. HRP-antibody dilution was 1﹕16 000 and reaction condition of HRP-antibody was 37 ℃ for 1.5 h. The developing time was 10 min at room temperature. This method was negative for other common intestinal pathogens, with a minimum detection limit of 1×105 L. intracellularis/mL. The coefficient of variation for intra and inter assay were less than 10%. A linear relationship was observed between L. intracellularis concentration and P/N values in the range of 1×105 - 1×108, with the standard equation : y=2.7349x-11.643 (R2=0.9966). This method was used to quantify the antigen content of PPE inactivated vaccines in our laboratory. The quantitative results indicated that the antigen content remained basically unchanged before and after inactivation, with two groups of vaccine samples demonstrating good intra-assay reproducibility. The results of 120 clinical fecal samples of swine showed that 62 positive samples and 58 negative samples were detected using the sandwich ELISA method; 67 positive samples and 53 negative samples were detected using nested PCR method. The positive coincidence rate of the two methods was 86.6% and the negative coincidence rate was 92.5%, the total coincidence rate of the two methods was 89.2%, and the kappa value was 0.78.【Conclusion】Monoclonal antibody and polyclonal antibody against L.intracellularis were successfully prepared, and a sandwich ELISA method for detecting L.intracellularis was successfully established and optimized. This method had good specificity and reproducibility, with a detection limit of 1×105 mL-1 for L.intracellularis, which could be used for the quantification of antigen content in the production of PPE inactivated vaccine and detection of PPE clinical samples.
