ABSTRACT
@#Objective To express the capsid proteins VP1 and VP3 of hepatitis A virus(HAV) in prokaryotic cells and evaluate their immunogenicity.Methods VP1 and VP3 gene fragments were amplified by PCR,cloned into vector pETG28a to construct recombinant expression plasmids pET-G28a-VP1 and pET-G28a-VP3,which were transformed into competent E.coli BL21(DE3),induced by IPTG,and then analyzed by 12% SDS-PAGE.The target protein was purified by ion exchange chromatography,renatured and combined with several adjuvants to immunize mice.The mice were divided into VP1-MF59,VP1-AH,VP1-AP,VP1-AP-10CpG,VP1-AP-50CpG,VP3-AP,VP3-VP1-AP and PBS control groups,five for each group.Serum IgG antibody titers of mice in various groups were detected by ELISA,and serum neutralizing antibody titers of mice in VP1-AP,VP3-VP1-AP and PBS control groups were detected by rapid fluorescence focus immunosuppression experiment.Results Colony PCR and sequencing showed that the recombinant plasmids pET-G28a-VP1 and pET-G28a-VP3were constructed correctly.The recombinant proteins VP1 and VP3,with relative molecular masses of about 37 000 and26 000 respectively,mainly existed in the form of inclusion bodies,the expression levels were 18.6% and 32.4%,and the purity was 86.3% and 84.7%,respectively.The recombinant proteins VP1 and VP3 reacted specifically with rabbit anti-HAV antiserum and mouse anti-HAV-VP3 antiserum respectively.The serum IgG antibody titer of mice in VP1-AP-50CpG group was significantly higher than that in VP1-AP group(q=22.05,P <0.01),and the serum IgG antibody titer of mice in VP3-VP1-AP group was significantly higher than that in VP1-AP group and VP3-AP group(q=22.05 and 22.49 respectively,each P <0.01).Compared with PBS control group,the serum neutralizing antibody titer of mice in VP1-AP and VP3-VP1-AP group increased significantly(q=7.79 and 25.11 respectively,P<0.01) Conclusion Prokaryotic HAV capsid proteins VP1 and VP3 showed high purity and good immunogenicity,and the addition of CpG in the preparation was beneficial to enhance the immunogenicity of antigens.This study laid a foundation of the development of HAV recombinant subunit vaccine.
