Problems solved by technology

[0005] Indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) using whole bacterial antigens of Rickettsia is the most commonly used method for laboratory serological diagnosis of typhus, but this IFA has antibody cross-reactivity between different species of Rickettsia bacteria Affect the reliability of serological diagnosis
If the purified whole bacteria of Rickettsia praustzii or Rickettsia mosoni are used as antigens, there are problems such as high protection requirements, complicated process and high cost for extracting and purifying Rickettsia, so these methods are difficult to be widely promoted and used

[0059] Preparation of refolding buffer:

[0060] 6M urea refolding buffer was prepared as follows: 500mmol NaCl, 0.2L Tris-HCl buffer (0.1mol / L), 6mol urea, 0.2L glycerol and ddH 2 O mixed, adjusted to pH 7.4, with ddH 2 O was adjusted to 1 liter to obtain a refolding buffer containing 6M urea.

[0061] The urea-free refolding buffer was prepared as follows: mix 500mmol NaCl, 0.2L Tris-HCl buffer (0.1mol / L), 0.2L glycerol and ddH 2 O mixed, adjusted to pH 7.4, with ddH 2 O was adjusted to 1 liter to obtain a urea-free refolding buffer.

[0062] 5M-1M urea refolding buffer is obtained from 6M urea refolding buffer and urea-free refolding buffer according to different volume ratios.

[0063] Composition of washing buffer per 1 liter: 50mmol NaH 2 PO 4 ·H 2 O, 300mmol NaCl, 20mmol imidazole and ddH 2 O mixed, pH adjusted to 8.0 with NaOH, and ddH 2 O was adjusted to 1 L to obtain a washing buffer.

Abstract

The invention discloses proteins for diagnosing typhus fever and an application thereof. The proteins comprise a Sca5 protein, an FtsZ protein, a GroEL protein and an Rp828 protein. The four proteins can be made in to a protein chip and a kit for diagnosing the typhus fever. The proteins, the protein chip and the kit which are provided by the invention can analyze and diagnose serum of a people or an animal suffering the typhus fever, with accurate and reliable results. The diagnosis method is simple in operations and small in sample usage amount, is time-saving and labor-saving, and can replace a conventional tedious serological diagnosis method for serological diagnosis of the typhus fever.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a group of proteins for diagnosing typhus and its application. Background technique [0002] Typhus is an acute infectious disease caused by Rickettsia, which can be divided into epidemic typhus and endemic typhus. The former, also known as lice typhus, is caused by Rickettsia prowazekii and is an acute infectious disease transmitted by human lice. It is sometimes prevalent in developing countries, especially among people where clothes lice breed. The latter, also known as flea typhus or mouse typhus, is caused by Rickettsia typhi and is an acute infectious disease transmitted by rat fleas. Endemic typhus is worldwide, and wherever there are rats and fleas, there may be an endemic typhus foci. [0003] The incubation period of typhus is 5 to 21 days, mostly 10 to 12 days. Manifestations include acute onset, chills, high fever, severe headache, muscle pain and tenderness, especially in the gastrocnemius muscle, flushi...
