Technical field
The present invention relates to biological medicine technology and field of immunology, in particular to a kind of take hepatitis B core antigen as the Major Outer Membrane Protein of Chla mydia trachomatis immunodominant epitope vaccine of carrier, its preparation method and the application in control chlamydia trachomatis infection thereof.
Background technology
Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is the most commonly encountered diseases substance of sexually transmitted disease (STD) (STDs) in the world, Male urethritis and women's cervicitis can be caused, it is reported that having 50-60% to be infected by Ct in Male urethritis causes (Tiodorovi.J, Randelovi.G, Koci.B et al, Bacteriological finding in the urethra in men with and without non-gonococcal urethritis, 2007, 64 (12): 833-6), and normal and other cause of disease polyinfection, by Sex transmitted pathogen female genitourinary tract, cause Disadvantage pregnancy, as miscarriage, stillborn foetus etc., and there is closely related (Alibek K with cervical cancer, Karatayeva N, Bekniyazov I.The role of infectious agents in urogenital cancers.Infect Agent Cancer.2012, 7 (1): 35, de Abreu AL, Nogara PR, Souza RP, et al.Molecular detection of HPV and Chlamydia trachomatis infections in Brazilian women with abnormal cervical cytology.Am J Trop Med Hyg.2012, 87 (6): 1149-1151).Ct still causes trachoma by contact, major cause (the Lu C of blinding, Holland MJ, Gong S, et al.Genome-wide identification of Chlamydia trachomatis antigens associated with trachomatous trichiasis.Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci.2012; 53 (6): 2551-9), and it is closely related with some autoimmune disorder, as (Costapinto L such as reactive arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE and arteriosclerosis, Olavarria VG, Grassi MF, et al.Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis endocervical infection in systemic lupus erythematosus patients and evaluation of the risk for HPV-induced lesions.Rheumatol Int.2012; Girschick HJ, Guilherme L, Inman RD et al.Bacterial triggers and autoimmune rheumatic diseases.Clin Exp Rheumatol.2008; 26:S12-17).Ct infects and very easily recurs after treatment, WHO estimates that about there are 9,000 ten thousand Ct patients in the whole world, be used for the treatment of Ct every year and infect cost multi-million dollar (Wang SA, Papp JR, Stamm WE, et al, Evaluation of antimicrobial resistance and treatment failures for Chlamydia trachomatis:a meeting report.J Infect Dis.2005,191 (6): 917-23.).In recent years, the STDs morbidity that China is caused by Ct, in continuing ascendant trend, constitutes high risks to human health, but still lacks effectively preventing method so far, thus seek effective vaccine, is one of hot-point and frontier problem of research at present.
Epitope is the fundamental structural unit or special chemical group that can be combined with φt cell receptor (TCR), B-cell receptor (BCR) or antibodies specific in antigen molecule, determined antigen-specific.Based on the vaccine of epitope design, i.e. epiposition vaccine (Epitope vaccine), that the one design that developed recently gets up is unique, with strong points, the vaccine of safety and stability, and can to T, chimeric (the XuW that B cell antigen epi-position is carried out various combination and made for multiple pathogens, Liu J, GongW, et al.Protective immunity against Chlamydia trachomatis genital infection induced by a vaccine based on the major outer membrane multi-epitope human papillomavirus major capsid protein L1.Vaccine.2011, 29 (15): 2672-2678, Robinson JA.Max Bergmann lecture Protein epitope mimetics in the age of structural vaccinology.J Pept Sci.2013, 19 (3): 127-140).But research prompting, the immunogenicity of epiposition vaccine has to be reinforced.Research proves, hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg) has good immunogenicity, with the virus-like particle (VLPs) of HBcAg formation for the carrier carrying heterologous protein has significant advantage: formation and immunogenicity that the MIR district that the VLPs that HBcAg is formed exists is applicable to carrying exogenous peptide and does not affect its VLPs very much; HBcAg VLPs has the immunogenic adjuvant effect of enhancing exogenous peptide; HBcAg VLPs can be prepared on a large scale at prokaryotic expression system, thus reaches economic and practical object (Yang Xingyu, Bao Hong, Su Yuelong; Hepatitis B virus core antigen is used for the major progress of virus sample particle vaccines research as carrier. viral journal .2012,28 (3): 312-316; Bertrand Bellier, David Klatzmann.Virus-like particle-based vaccines against hepatitis C virus infection.Expert Review of Vaccines, 2013,12 (2): 143-154).
Ct has 19 Serotypes, wherein the serotype such as D-H mainly causes urogenital infections, wherein E and D type is then domestic and international report (Chen Lili, Wu Yimou, Deng Zhongliang etc. southern china urban Medicine against Urogenital Chlamydia Trachomatis gene type is studied. Chinese journal of dermatology, 2006,39:275-277; Suchland RJ, Eckert LO, Hawes SE, et al, Longitudinal assessment of infecting serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis in Seattle, public health clinics:1988-1996.Sex Transm Dis, 2003,30:357-361) in the most common type.Ct major outer membrane protein (MOMP) is principal target (the Klein M of neutralizing antibody, Kotz A, Bernardo K, et al.Kronke M.Detection of Chlamydia pneumoniae-specific antibodies binding to the VD2and VD3regions of the major outer membrane protein.J Clin Microbiol.2003,41 (5): 1957-1962), because of but the target antigen of Ct vaccine research.But serious pathologic immune response (Fletcher MA.Vaccine candidates in STD.Int J STD AIDS, 2002,13.Suppl2:38-41) can be produced with when whole thalline or target antigen immunity human body.Thus, the immunodominant epitope on MOMP albumen is utilized to solve the problem to a certain extent, likely will develop into promising vaccine (Ortiz L, Angevine M, Kim SK, et al.T-cell epitopes in variable segments of Chlamydia trachomatis major outer membrane protein elicit serovar-specific immune responses in infected humans.Infect Immun, 2000,68 (3): 1719-1723).In recent years, a lot of laboratory reports a series of cell epitope successively, mostly be positioned on chlamydia trachomatis MOMP, the polypeptide utilizing these cell epitopes to form can induce body to produce specific immune response (Wang Ledan, Zhang Lifang. the progress of Major Outer Membrane Protein of Chla mydia trachomatis epitope. foreign medical science. prevention. diagnosis. biological products fascicle is used in treatment, 2005,28 (5): 196-199).
At present, the research of Ct vaccine mainly comprises whole cell vaccine, subunit vaccine, recombiant vaccine, improvement on synthesis vaccine, but effect is all undesirable.Due to natural whole cell and MOMP albumen possibility induced pathologies immunne response, therefore select t cell epitope and the B cell epi-position in MOMP albumen with immunodominance, the T-B of composition Ct MOMP combines epi-position, this multi-epitope gene is cloned into prokaryotic expression plasmid and the rear immune mouse of qualification, the specific antibody IgG for CT is detected respectively in mice serum and vaginal secretions, slgA and Specific CTL Cells immunity, and mouse model reproductive tract Ct is attacked there is certain provide protection (Xu W, Liu J, Gong W, et al.Protective immunity against Chlamydia trachomatis genital infection induced by a vaccine based on the major outer membrane multi-epitope human papillomavirus major capsid protein L1.Vaccine.2011, 29 (15): 2672-2678).Therefore, epiposition vaccine is one of direction of chlamydia trachomatis vaccine research, and strengthens the focus that the immunogenicity of epi-position and provide protection are research at present.
In sum; this area a kind ofly strengthens chlamydia trachomatis associating epi-position vaccine immunogenicity and the vaccine of immanoprotection action in the urgent need to developing, and is applied to the autoimmune disorder etc. that disease that chlamydia trachomatis infection causes is as relevant in urogenital infections, trachoma and chlamydia trachomatis infection.
