Problems solved by technology

Insufficient uridine acid content in Toxoplasma gondii will cause severe genetic damage, making Toxoplasma lose the ability to replicate, and then affect its virulence to the host
In addition, the research team previously developed a Toxoplasma gondii mutant lacking lactate dehydrogenase 1 (LDH1), and found that the mutant can grow normally in vitro, but cannot replicate in vivo after infecting animals, significantly reducing pathogenicity

[0039] Example 1: Construction of Toxoplasma gondii auxotrophic strain △oprt△ldh1

[0040] (1) Starting strain ME49

[0041] ME49 is a type II worm strain of the genus Toxoplasma of the family Toxoplasma of the order Coccidia, and has an orotate phosphoribosyltransferase gene (oprt) and a lactate dehydrogenase 1 gene (ldh1), and the orotate phosphoribosyltransferase gene and the nucleotide sequences of the lactate dehydrogenase 1 gene are shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2, respectively.

Abstract

The invention discloses an attenuated live vaccine capable of preventing toxoplasma gondii infection. The vaccine contains a toxoplasma gondii vaccine strain with deficiency of both the orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT) gene and the lactate dehydrogenase 1 (LDH1) gene, wherein the nucleotide sequence of the OPRT gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO:1, and the nucleotide sequence of the LDH1 gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO:2. According to the attenuated toxoplasma gondii live vaccine used for preventing the animal toxoplasmosis provided by the invention, for the vaccine strain, the OPRT and LDH1genes are knocked out, thus the vaccine strain has the advantages that the virulence is weak and basically no pathogenicity is caused, and the vaccine strain can be used for preventing toxoplasma gondii infection of animals, and has the potential of being prepared into a genetic engineering vaccine for resisting toxoplasma gondii.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering, and relates to a live attenuated vaccine for preventing Toxoplasma gondii infection, especially a live attenuated vaccine for Toxoplasma gondii lacking orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT) and lactate dehydrogenase 1 (LDH1) genes. The invention also relates to a preparation method of the vaccine. Background technique [0002] Toxoplasma gondii can infect almost all warm-blooded animals including humans, causing zoonotic toxoplasmosis. Humans and animals are mainly infected by eating meat contaminated by Toxoplasma gondii and its oocysts. About 1 / 3 of the world's people are infected with Toxoplasma gondii. When human immunity is normal, Toxoplasma gondii infection generally does not show obvious clinical symptoms. In immunocompromised individuals, Toxoplasma gondii infection can lead to fever, blindness, encephalitis, etc., which seriously threaten human life and health. In animal husbandr...
