Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine technology, and specifically to a synthetic biology self-assembly vaccine production system, a vaccine, a carrier system and a method for producing a vaccine, which are used for the development of a new vaccine in the present application. Background Art
[0002] Vaccines refer to biological products made from various pathogenic microorganisms for use in vaccination. For the general public and families, vaccination is the most economical and effective way to prevent and control diseases, which can reduce the occurrence of diseases and reduce medical expenses.
[0003] At present, there are many types of vaccines, mainly including inactivated vaccines, live attenuated vaccines, subunit vaccines, nucleic acid vaccines, and viral vector vaccines. However, for different diseases, these vaccines all have some shortcomings to a greater or lesser extent. For example, inactivated vaccines have the disadvantage of being unable to quickly respond to antigenic variations represented by RNA viruses. Once the key immune recognition sites of key viruses mutate, the antibodies produced by the inactivated vaccines will easily fail. The strains selected for live attenuated vaccines are alive, and in terms of safety, they are not easily accepted by the public. The sequences of nucleic acid vaccines are flexible and editable, but they are sometimes easily degraded in the body, and they also put forward higher requirements for transportation and storage conditions. The vaccine needs to be synthesized in vitro, and the cost is relatively high. Viral vector vaccines have high production costs, and viral vaccines represented by adenovirus vector vaccines may weaken their effects due to the pre-immunity phenomenon in the body. Moreover, the above vaccines generally have the problems of difficult development, long response and development cycles, and high costs.
[0004] Therefore, if a new type of vaccine can be developed, it may be a major change in this field, which will bring many new advantages and new hopes.
[0005] Exosomes are a type of double-layer membrane vesicles with a diameter of 50-200nm. Almost all cells can secrete exosomes. Many studies have shown that exosomes play an important role in intercellular communication. The applicant and the inventor team have always been in a leading position in the study of exosomes, and there are many research results. In recent related studies, it was found that editable gene components can be delivered in vivo, and specific polypeptides / proteins can be displayed on the surface of exosomes by self-assembly of biological tissues or organs, and can be transported to major tissues and organs throughout the body through the circulatory system. Based on the above information, the inventor team has developed a new type of vaccine, which uses a method of in vivo exosome self-assembly of related base sequences such as gene components, and uses exosomes to present antigens and induce immune responses to achieve in vivo immunity. This new type of vaccine and the method for preparing the vaccine are expected to become a new vaccine with excellent application prospects. Summary of the invention

[0113] 2. Add 300 μl of PBST (0.05% tween in PBS) to each well, let stand for 30 seconds, discard the solution and add new PBST, repeat washing 3 times; pat dry on absorbent paper;
[0114] 3.5% (2%) BSA (PBS), blocked at 4°C for 12 h (2 h at room temperature);
[0115] 4. Discard the solution and wash twice with PBST;
[0116] 5. Dilute the serum 100 times with PBS and then dilute it in 2-fold gradients, for a total of 7 gradients (covering 10,000 titers), add 100 μl to each well, dilution steps (do not count duplicate wells, use a separate plate to dilute first and then add to the ELISA plate). The starting well is 2 μl of original serum + 198 μl of PBS (3 μl + 247 μl), pipetting and mixing, the next well is aspirated 90 μl + 90 μl of PBS (120 + 120), pipetting and mixing, and each gradient is diluted in the same way. After the dilution is completed, aspirate 50 μl (100 μl) into the ELISA plate. Incubate in a 37-degree incubator for 30 minutes (37 degrees, 60 minutes);
[0117] 6. Wash three times with PBST, dilute goat anti-mouse IgG at 1:5000 in PBS, add 100 μl to each well, and incubate at 37 degrees for 30 minutes;
[0118] 7. Wash 5 times with PBST, add 100 μl TMB reaction solution and incubate at 37 degrees for 10-30 minutes, add 100 μl (50 μl) 2M sulfuric acid to terminate the reaction and measure at 450nm wavelength. Calculate the titer with OD>2 (1.4) times of negative serum as the termination point.
[0119] The results showed that antibodies produced by the above antigens could be detected in the serum after injection. Figure 2 The amount of antibodies induced by HPV-L1 antigen. Figure 4 The amount of antibodies induced by HBV antigens. Figure 6 The amount of antibodies induced by HPV16 antigen. Figure 8 The amount of antibodies induced by H1N1 antigen.
[0120] From the above results, it can be seen that the injection of gene components causes mice to obtain high titers of specific antibodies and neutralizing antibodies, and the antibody titers are comparable to those of commercial vaccines.
