Description
本發明是有關於一種重組抗原及含彼之疫苗組成物,特別是有關於一種交叉保護性重組抗原及含彼之動物疫苗組成物。 The present invention relates to a recombinant antigen and a vaccine composition therefor, and more particularly to a cross-protective recombinant antigen and a vaccine composition containing the same.
豬丹毒(Swine erysipelas;SE)是由豬丹毒桿菌(Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae,E.r)引起的一種急性熱性傳染病,其主要病徵為高熱、急性敗血症、皮膚疹塊(亞急性)、慢性疣狀心內膜炎、皮膚壞死以及多發性非化膿性關節炎。豬丹毒桿菌常存於30%至50%的健康豬隻之扁桃腺及淋巴組織中,藉由傷口、糞便及口鼻分泌物傳染,擴大疫情傳播,且豬丹毒桿菌常感染於肥育期的豬隻以及懷孕母豬,故造成養豬業者的鉅大經濟損失。 Swine erysipelas (SE) is an acute heat-borne disease caused by Erysipelothrhr rhusiopathiae ( Er ). Its main symptoms are hyperthermia, acute sepsis, skin rash (subacute), chronic sacral endocardium. Inflammation, skin necrosis, and multiple non-suppurative arthritis. E. sinensis is often found in the tonsils and lymphoid tissues of healthy pigs from 30% to 50%. It spreads through wounds, feces and oral and nasal secretions, and spreads the epidemic. Pigs are often infected in the finishing period. Only the pregnant sows cause huge economic losses for the pig farmers.
過去研究顯示,豬丹毒桿菌的致病機轉可能為當豬丹毒桿菌感染宿主時,因豬丹毒桿菌之外層具有莢膜(capsular)保護,可免於免疫細胞吞噬消化,形成抗吞噬防禦機制,因而可長存於宿主體內並繁殖,豬丹毒桿菌再藉由 釋放神經氨酸酶(neuraminidase)破壞宿主內皮細胞表面結構,有利於使更多豬丹毒桿菌以自身表面保護蛋白Spa黏附於宿主內皮細胞上,進而入侵宿主微血管,使豬丹毒桿菌進入宿主血液循環系統,導致感染惡化,甚至引發敗血症。 Past studies have shown that the pathogenesis of E. typhimurium may be when the E. sinensis infection host, because the outer layer of E. sinensis has capsular protection, can avoid immune cell phagocytosis and digestion, forming an anti-phagocytic defense mechanism, Therefore, it can persist in the host and multiply, and the bacterium The release of neuraminidase destroys the surface structure of host endothelial cells, which helps to make more porcine dystrophies adhere to the host endothelial cells with their own surface protective protein Spa, thereby invading the host microvessels, allowing the porcine bacillus to enter the host blood circulation system. , leading to worsening infections and even causing sepsis.
過去研究結果顯示,以豬丹毒桿菌表面保護抗原(SpaA)的完整多肽序列製成單株抗體(I2A),證實能夠辨識16種血清型,亦能使豬丹毒桿菌緊密地黏附於細胞。 Past studies have shown that a single antibody (I2A) is produced from the complete polypeptide sequence of the A. faecalis surface-protecting antigen (SpaA), which confirms that 16 serotypes can be identified, and also enables the typhoid bacillus to adhere tightly to cells.

豬丹毒桿菌為革蘭氏陽性短桿菌,依肽聚醣可 分為23種血清型,其中以血清型第一型與第二型較為常見。主要存在於豬隻扁桃腺及淋巴組織,再經由口鼻分泌物、皮膚傷口及糞便之平行傳染,為人畜共通傳染病。過去研究指出將豬丹毒桿菌表面保護抗原A免疫於兔子,其血清中IgG抗體具有能辨識16種不同血清型,顯示SpaA可能具有交叉保護豬丹毒.之不同血清型的潛力。 E. sinensis is a Gram-positive Brevibacterium, which can be peptidoglycan Divided into 23 serotypes, of which serotypes 1 and 2 are more common. It mainly exists in the tonsils and lymphoid tissues of pigs, and is transmitted through parallel infections of oral and nasal secretions, skin wounds and feces, and is a common infectious disease for humans and animals. Past studies have indicated that immunization of Phytophthora infestans surface-protected antigen A in rabbits with IgG antibodies in serum can identify 16 different serotypes, suggesting that SpaA may have the potential to cross-protect different serotypes of porcine erysipelas.

In the preliminary test results, using the serum analysis of infected pigs, it was confirmed that rSpaA-N recombinant protein still retains immunogenicity, but the molecule is small, biosafety and easy to mass production, and can be used as recombinant subunit vaccine of E. sinensis. For antigenic proteins.

It should, at the same time, protect against infection with E. coli that crosses different serotypes.
另外,在其他實施例中,本發明含有rSpaA-N重組蛋白之疫苗組成物於受免疫動物之血清抗體結果證實,其血清中IgG、IgG2a、IgG1等抗體較市售疫苗組及控制組(未進行免疫)皆具顯著性差異,可發展為次單位疫苗之抗原。 In addition, in other embodiments, the vaccine composition containing the rSpaA-N recombinant protein of the present invention is confirmed by serum antibody results of the immunized animal, and the antibodies such as IgG, IgG2a, and IgG1 in the serum are compared with the commercially available vaccine group and the control group (not Immunization) has significant differences and can be developed as an antigen for subunit vaccines.

4.3豬隻攻毒效力試驗4.3 Pig challenge test
上述豬隻於補強免疫後2週,分別以1 MLD(6.3 x 108CFU/mL)之同源血清型第1a型之豬丹毒桿菌活菌0.1mL進行皮下攻毒。攻毒後持續觀察2週,並記錄豬隻每組每日之臨床積分。另外,在實驗結束後,所有豬隻犧牲進行剖檢,以記錄豬隻每組之剖檢積分。 The above pigs were subcutaneously challenged with 1 MLD (6.3 x 10 8 CFU/mL) of homologous serotype 1a type of E. sinensis live bacteria 0.1 mL, respectively, 2 weeks after the booster immunization. Continue to observe for 2 weeks after challenge, and record the daily clinical scores of each group of pigs. In addition, at the end of the experiment, all pigs were sacrificed for necropsy to record the necropsy scores for each group of pigs.
免疫組之臨床積分及剖檢積分如表3所示,其中免疫組之臨床症狀及解剖病變積分,較控制組減輕55%及44%,確實具有保護效力。相較之下,控制組的豬隻出現發燒的情況,體溫最高到41.7℃,並出現紅斑症。 The clinical scores and necropsy scores of the immunization group are shown in Table 3. The clinical symptoms and anatomical lesion scores of the immunized group were 55% and 44% less than the control group, and indeed had protective effects.

綜言之,由上述數個實施例證實,本發明以原核表現系統表現rSpaA-N重組蛋白作為動物疫苗組成物,經小鼠試驗證實具有保護受免疫之對象免於至少二不同血清型之豬丹毒桿菌之感染之功效。在其他實施例中,當上述疫苗組成物應用於豬隻時,以三至四週齡的豬隻(體重約4公斤至6公斤)為例,每頭可施打含有200微克(μg)之rSpaA-N重組蛋白的動物用疫苗組成物,其結果與小鼠攻毒試驗相近,亦證實rSpaA-N重組蛋白具有保護受免疫之對象免於至少二不同血清型之豬丹毒桿菌之感染之功效。 In summary, the above embodiments demonstrate that the present invention expresses the rSpaA-N recombinant protein as an animal vaccine composition by a prokaryotic expression system, and has been confirmed by a mouse test to protect a subject who is immunized from at least two different serotypes. The efficacy of the infection with erysipelas. In other embodiments, when the vaccine composition is applied to a pig, a pig of three to four weeks old (body weight of about 4 kg to 6 kg) is used as an example, and each head can be used to contain 200 micrograms (μg) of rSpaA. The animal composition of the -N recombinant protein was similar to the mouse challenge test, and it was also confirmed that the rSpaA-N recombinant protein has an effect of protecting the infected subject from infection by at least two different serotypes of E. sinensis.
