Embodiment 1

[0019] Example 1: Construction of Toxoplasma gondii △LDH1△LDH2 strain

[0020] (1) Starting strain ME49

[0021] ME49 is a type II worm strain of the genus Toxoplasma of the family Toxoplasma in the order Coccidia with two genes of lactate dehydrogenase 1 and lactate dehydrogenase 2. The nucleotide sequences of the lactate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 genes are as follows: Shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2.

[0022] (2) Construction of pSAG1-Cas9-TgU6-sgLDH2 plasmid

[0023] ① Use the gRNA online design website (http: / / www.e-crisp.org / E-CRISP / designcrispr.html) to design the target gene targeting site, and design the gRNA primers according to the designed target sequence:

[0024] Upstream primer gRNA-LDH2-Fw:

[0025] 5’–AACCAGTATGAGAAGATCGCGTTTTAGAGCTAGAAATAGC–3’

[0026] The downstream primer (gRNA-R) is: 5'-AACTTGACATCCCCATTTAC-3'

[0027] ② Prepare the following reaction system in a sterilized PCR tube, in which the template DNA: pSAG1-Cas9-TgU6-sgUPRT plasmid (purchas...

Embodiment 2

[0090] Embodiment 2 Toxoplasma gondii △ LDH1 △ LDH2 worm strain purposes

[0091] 2.1 Gene knockout strain △LDH1△LDH2 diluted injection

[0092] 1) Dilute injection formula

[0093]

[0094] 2) Preparation method of diluted injection

[0095] ①Mix with a magnetic stirrer for 5 minutes.

[0096] ② Filter and sterilize with a 0.22um filter.

[0097] 2.2 Toxicity test of △LDH1△LDH2 double knockout strain on mice

[0098] 1) Use HFF cells to culture Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites in vitro, until 30-50% of the parasites have escaped from the cells; discard the medium in the original culture bottle, and wash away the escaped parasites and residual medium with PBS , add fresh FBS-free dilution.

[0099] 2) Scrape off the cells with a disposable cell scraper, repeatedly blow and beat the suspension 8-10 times with a 5ml syringe, so that the insect vesicles burst and the worms escape, and filter and purify the worms with a sterile 3μm pore-diameter filter membrane; count the cel...

Abstract

The invention discloses a construction method and application of a toxoplasma-gondii lactic dehydrogenase gene knock-out strain. According to the method, a toxoplasma-gondii lactate dehydrogenase gene 1 and a toxoplasma-gondii lactate dehydrogenase gene 2 are knocked out, the nucleotide sequence of the lactate dehydrogenase gene 1 is shown in SEQIDNO:2, the nucleotide sequence of lactate dehydrogenase gene 2 is shown in SEQIDNO:2, and the toxoplasma-gondii gene knock-out strain having the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQIDNO:3 and the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQIDNO:4 at the sites of the lactate dehydrogenase gene 1 and the lactate dehydrogenase gene 2. The gene knock-out strain has the advantages of being small in toxicity and little in reproduction in animals and the like. The method can improve the immunization of animals to toxoplasma gondii and has the potential of becoming a genetic engineering vaccine against toxoplasma gondii.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for constructing a lactate dehydrogenase gene knockout strain of toxoplasma gondii, and the use of the lactate dehydrogenase 1 (LDH1) and lactate dehydrogenase 2 (LDH2) double gene deletion strain constructed by the method . Background technique [0002] Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite belonging to the apicomplexa protozoa. It is widely distributed all over the world. It is a very important zoonotic pathogen and can cause severe zoonotic toxoplasmosis. In South America and some parts of Europe, the infection rate of humans and animals is as high as 80-90%; in China, the infection rate is generally around 10%. Immunocompromised people are at a very high risk of toxoplasma infection, which can be fatal in severe cases. Women infected with Toxoplasma gondii during pregnancy will have adverse effects on fetal development, causing deformities, mental retardation, premature birth and even fetal deat...
