Problems solved by technology

However, the molecular weight of the ApuA protein is too large. In the process of using the full-length gene to construct an expression vector, induce protein expression, and purify it, it is necessary to face problems such as difficulty in vector construction, low protein yield, and low protein purity caused by too long gene fragments; use When using ApuA peptides to prepare polyclonal antibodies, because multiple domains of ApuA have high homology with proteins in Streptococcus suis or other bacteria, it is necessary to face the problem of non-specificity of antibodies

Embodiment 1

[0031] Embodiment 1 Design and synthesis of Streptococcus suis ApuA protein-specific antigen polypeptide

[0032]1. Obtain the amino acid sequence (accession number: CAZ52647.1) and related information of the ApuA protein of Streptococcus suis type 2 in the GenBank database. The length of the protein is 2094 amino acids (amino acid, aa).

[0033] 2. Analyze the secondary structure, hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, and antigenicity of the amino acid sequence of ApuA, and obtain 3 polypeptide fragments with high comprehensive evaluation ( figure 1 ): Pep1 (TGKSYQAIEKDGKW, SEQ ID NO. 1), Pep2 (VYDKDNGYYYETKLD, SEQ ID NO. 2) and Pep3 (IQQKDYSFKDLKNQ, SEQ ID NO. 3). Pep1 has good specificity, and no homology of this fragment in Streptococcus suis or other bacteria was found; while Pep2 and Pep3 failed to avoid homologous proteins or protein superfamily in Streptococcus suis or other bacteria, and the specificity was poor . After the above analysis, Pep1 (871-884aa) was selected...

Embodiment 2

[0035] Embodiment 2 animal immunization

[0036] 1. The experimental animals are New Zealand white rabbits with a weight of about 2.0kg. Before immunization, negative blood was collected from the ear vein, left at room temperature for 2 hours, centrifuged at 5000rpm for 10 minutes, and negative serum was prepared and stored at -80°C. Freund's complete adjuvant and Freund's incomplete adjuvant were purchased from Sigma.

[0037] 2. See Table 1 for the immunization program. Take 400 μg or 200 μg of Pep1-KLH immunogen (3 mg / mL), dilute it to 200-500 uL with normal saline, and then add an equal volume of Freund’s adjuvant (freund’s complete adjuvant for initial immunization, and incomplete Freund’s adjuvant for booster immunization) agent), the antigen and adjuvant were mixed with a shaker to form a water-in-oil emulsion.

Embodiment 3

[0042] Example 3 ELISA titer detection

[0043] 1. Coating: Dilute the Pep1-BSA antigen with coating solution (sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate buffer, pH 9.6) to a final concentration of 2 μg / mL, add to the microplate, 100 μL per well, overnight at 4 °C.

[0044] 2. Blocking: Wash 3 times with washing solution PBS-T (PBS buffer containing 0.05% Tween), add PBS buffer containing 1% skimmed milk powder to block, 200 μL per well, and incubate at 37° C. for 2 hours.

[0045] 3. Washing: Discard the blocking solution, wash 3 times with washing solution, and pat dry.

[0046] 4. Primary antibody incubation: use the blocking solution to dilute the rabbit polyantisera 2 times from 200 times to 102400 times, the blank control is the blocking solution, and the negative control is the rabbit negative serum diluted 200 times with the blocking solution; add to the enzyme label Incubate at 37°C for 1 hour at 100 μL per well.

[0047] 5. Washing: Discard the primary antibody, wash 3 ti...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to an ApuA protein antigen polypeptide and an application thereof. By analyzing the secondary structure, the hydrophilic-hydrophobic property, the antigenicity and the like of the amino acid sequence of the streptococcus suis ApuA protein, the selected peptide fragment has the characteristics of good specificity and good immunogenicity; the antigen polypeptide is artificially synthesized and then coupled with a carrier protein, and the conjugate is used for immunizing a New Zealand white rabbit to prepare a rabbit polyclonal antibody, so that the antibody titer is relatively ideal, the ApuA protein in a streptococcus suis whole proteome can be specifically recognized, and the rabbit polyclonal antibody has no binding effect on other six kinds of extracellular or intracellular homologous proteins of streptococcus suis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and in particular relates to an ApuA protein antigen polypeptide and its application. Background technique [0002] Streptococcus suis is a Gram-positive coccus with capsules. Its natural colonization site is located in the upper respiratory tract of pigs, especially the nasal cavity and tonsils, including the digestive tract and reproductive tract. It is an opportunistic pathogen. Infected pigs, recovered pigs or healthy pigs can carry the pathogen. The pathogen can be transmitted through the mouth, nose and wounds, often causing symptoms such as dyspnea, cyanosis or loss in weaned piglets or fattening pigs. After the course of the disease develops seriously, meningitis, pneumonia, arthritis, sepsis, etc. The world's pig industry has caused huge economic losses. Streptococcus suis can also infect people through wounds or digestive tracts, leading to meningitis, endocarditis, suppurative ar...
