Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of veterinary biotechnology, and in particular relates to a porcine epidemic diarrhea virus S1 recombinant protein, a kit and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a highly contagious intestinal disease caused by infection with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), characterized by watery diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. The mortality rate of suckling piglets infected with PEDV is as high as 100%, and it can be infected in all age groups. The new highly virulent PEDV strain that spread rapidly in my country has caused the death of a large number of piglets, with a mortality rate close to 100%, causing huge economic losses to my country's pig industry.

[0003] Serological detection of PEDV mainly includes neutralization test (SNT), indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Among them, the ELISA method is easy to operate, has good specificity, and can perform high-throughput detection. It is a commonly used serological antibody detection method. At present, there is no effective treatment for the onset of PED, and passive immunity conferred by maternal antibodies needs to be obtained through colostrum. The most important immune factors in colostrum are IgA and IgG, which perform different immune functions. Secretory IgA (sIgA) can anchor on the mucosa to protect the intestines and other mucosal tissues of piglets from invasion by pathogenic microorganisms.

[0004] The existing anti-PEDV immunoglobulin test kit can only detect anti-PEDV immunoglobulin in pig serum and colostrum, and requires the collection of pig blood and sow colostrum samples for testing. In the context of the African swine fever epidemic, blood sampling is not conducive to the prevention and control of African swine fever, and for colostrum testing, even if the antibody level is low, there is no time to adjust the immunization program to change the antibody level in colostrum, and the results have a lagging guiding role in PED prevention and control.

The exogenous polynucleotide may be maintained as a non-integrating vector such as a plasmid or may be integrated into the host genome.

[0115] In the present disclosure, the term "sequence identity" refers to the "percent sequence identity" or "percent identity" between two polynucleotides, i.e., the number of identical matching positions shared by the sequences within a comparison window, taking into account additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) that must be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences. A matching position is any position where the same nucleotide is present in both the target sequence and the reference sequence. Since a gap is not a nucleotide, gaps present in the target sequence are not counted. Likewise, since target sequence nucleotides are counted and nucleotides from the reference sequence are not counted, gaps present in the reference sequence are not counted. At least 60% sequence identity includes a contiguous segment having at least 60%, at least 61%, at least 62%, at least 63%, at least 64%, at least 65%, at least 66%, at least 67%, at least 68%, at least 69%, at least 70%, at least 71%, at least 72%, at least 73%, at least 74%, at least 75%, at least 76%, at least 77%, at least 78%, at least 79%, at least 80%, at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100% sequence identity over the entire length of the sequence.

[0116] Methods for comparing sequences are well known in the art and can be, for example, performed using existing software such as BLASR, DALIGN, BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2BWA, BOWTIE or Megalign (DNASTAR).

[0117] The term "connector peptide" as used herein refers to a (peptide) linker of natural and / or synthetic origin, which is composed of linear amino acids. The fragments in the recombinant protein of the present invention can be connected by a connector. In some embodiments, the connecting peptides between the first fragment, the second fragment, the third fragment, the fourth fragment and / or the fifth fragment are the same or different. The connector should have a length suitable for connecting two or more monomer domains in this way, and the connector can ensure that the different domains connected to it are correctly folded and appropriately presented, thereby exerting the function of its biological activity. In some embodiments, the connector has a flexible conformation. The flexible connector, for example, has glycine, glutamine and / or serine residues.

[0122] (1) Construction of recombinant expression plasmid: The present invention has conducted a large number of sequence comparisons on the S1 protein sequence in the database, selected the target fragment with good antigenicity and hydrophilicity, and carried out truncated expression and repeated expression. The peptide amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 to 6, and the peptides are connected by flexible amino acids (amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 7). By comparing and detecting with the full-length S1 protein, the S1 recombinant protein with good antigenicity, hydrophilicity and stability (amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1) was finally screened. The sequence is shown in Table 1.

[0123] (2) Preparation of recombinant protein bacmid:

[0124] The coding nucleic acid sequences of S1 full-length protein and S1 recombinant protein (with histidine tag 6×His, the nucleic acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:8) were inserted into the pFastBac1 plasmid through the restriction enzyme cutting sites BamHI and SacI, respectively, to obtain plasmid pFastBac1-S1 full-length and plasmid pFastBac1-S1 recombinant. The plasmid pFastBac1-S1 full-length and plasmid pFastBac1-S1 recombinant were transformed into MAX DH10Bac TM In competent cells A, recombinant bacmids containing nucleic acids encoding the full-length S1 protein and the recombinant protein are generated respectively.

[0125] (3) Construction of recombinant baculovirus: The above-mentioned recombinant bacmid DNA was transfected into Sf9 insect cell lines to generate recombinant baculovirus containing the nucleic acid sequences encoding the full-length S1 protein and the recombinant S1 protein, respectively.

[0126] (4) Expression of S1 full-length protein and S1 recombinant protein: refer to Baculovirus expression system operation manual, the above two recombinant baculoviruses were inoculated into Sf9 cells and cultured for two generations. The virus fluids were collected and inoculated into High Five TM The cells expressed the full-length S1 protein and the recombinant S1 protein.

[0127] (5) Purification of S1 full-length protein and S1 recombinant protein: S1 full-length protein and S1 recombinant protein were purified by Ni 2+ Purification by affinity chromatography.

[0128] (6) Identification of S1 recombinant protein:

[0129] The purified S1 recombinant protein was subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and the results showed that a specific protein band appeared at about 110 kDa.

[0130] (7) The detection effects of PEDV S1 recombinant protein and S1 full-length protein on PEDVIgA were compared. The detection effect of the protein was evaluated based on the principle of maximizing the average P / N value. The specific steps were as follows: the purified PEDV S1 recombinant protein and S1 full-length protein were diluted to 1 ug / mL with carbonate buffer (pH 9.6), and 100 uL per well was added to the ELISA plate and coated at 4°C for 24 h; washed twice with PBS (pH 7.4) washing solution (PBST) containing 0.05% Tween-20 (volume ratio), blocked with blocking solution (Changsha Jingyue Biotechnology) at 37°C for 1 h, washed thoroughly with PBST, and air-dried at room temperature. Four copies of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus positive serum and negative serum from clinical samples were diluted at 1:50, and 100uL was added to each well of the ELISA plate and incubated at 37°C for 30min; washed 4 times with PBS (pH7.4) washing solution (PBST) containing 0.05% Tween-20 (volume ratio) and patted dry, and HRP-labeled sheep anti-swine IgA was diluted at 1:10000 and added to each well of the ELISA plate, incubated at 37°C for 30min; incubated at 37°C for 30min; washed 4 times with PBS (pH7.4) washing solution (PBST) containing 0.05% Tween-20 (volume ratio) and patted dry, and 50uL of TMB was added to each well for color development in the dark for 15min, and 2mol / LH2SO4 was used to terminate the reaction, and the OD was measured. 450nm The average P / N value (ratio of positive serum to negative serum) was calculated. The results are shown in Table 2: P1, P2, P3, P4 represent positive samples 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively; N1, N2, N3, N4 represent negative samples 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively.

[0131] Table 2. Comparison of detection results of PEDV S1 recombinant protein and S1 full-length protein

[0132]

[0133] As shown in Table 2, by analyzing the test results after coating with different proteins, it was determined that PEDVS1 recombinant protein was an antigen with better detection effect than S1 full-length protein, so it was determined as the coating antigen for subsequent experiments.

[0134] Example 2. Optimization of ELISA conditions for detecting PEDVIgA

[0135] In this example, the ELISA conditions for detecting PEDVIgA were verified respectively:

[0136] (1) Determination of optimal antigen coating concentration and optimal serum dilution

[0137] The purified PEDV S1 recombinant protein was diluted to 0.25, 0.5, and 1ug / mL with carbonate buffer (pH 9.6) according to the chessboard method, and then 100uL was added to each well of the ELISA plate and coated at 4°C for 24h. Four samples of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus positive and negative sera from clinical samples were diluted at 1:50, 1:100, and 1:200, respectively, and then the square array titration was performed; HRP-labeled sheep anti-swine IgA was diluted at 1:10000, and TMB was used to develop color in the dark for 15min, and 2mol / LH2SO4 was used to terminate the reaction, and the OD was measured. 450nm The antigen concentration and serum dilution when the P / N value (ratio of positive serum to negative serum) is the largest are taken as the optimal antigen working concentration and serum dilution. The results are shown in Table 3: P1, P2, P3, P4 represent positive samples 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively; N1, N2, N3, N4 represent negative samples 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively.

[0138] Table 3. Determination of optimal coating concentration of antigen and optimal serum dilution

[0139]

[0140] By comparing the P / N values ​​under different conditions, the condition with the highest P / N value was selected as the optimal condition. The antigen coating concentration of 0.5ug / mL and the optimal serum dilution of 1:50 were determined to be the optimal reaction conditions.

[0141] (2) Determination of sample incubation time

[0142] Based on the optimal experimental conditions determined above, the sample incubation time was screened. A 1:50 diluted clinical sample was added to each well and reacted at room temperature in the dark for 20 min, 30 min, 45 min, and 60 min. ELISA tests were performed on 3 negative sera and 5 positive sera from clinical samples to determine the OD 450nm The results are shown in Table 4.

[0143] Table 4. Determination of the optimal incubation time for samples

[0144]

[0145] PEDV negative and positive sera were incubated with antigen plates at 37°C for different time periods under the conditions of optimal antigen coating concentration and serum dilution multiple. The results showed (Table 4) that the average P / N value was the highest (18.60) when the serum was incubated for 30 minutes, so the optimal incubation time for the serum was determined to be 30 minutes.

[0146] (3) Determination of the optimal enzyme-labeled secondary antibody dilution multiple and action time

[0147] The square array titration method was used to determine the optimal enzyme-labeled secondary antibody dilution multiple and action time. Five PEDV-positive sera and three PEDV-negative sera were selected for detection according to the determined optimal conditions. The HRP-labeled enzyme-labeled secondary antibody sheep anti-swine IgA (KPL Company) was diluted at 1:5000, 1:10000, and 1:15000 and then acted at 37°C for 30min, 45min, and 60min, respectively. After the detection, the average P / N value was calculated, and the optimal enzyme-labeled secondary antibody dilution multiple and action time were determined according to the average P / N value.

[0148] Table 5. Determination of the optimal secondary antibody dilution multiple and action time

[0149]

[0150]

[0151] The results showed (Table 5) that when the enzyme-labeled secondary antibody was diluted 10,000 times and the action time was 30 minutes, the average P / N value was the highest (23.91). Therefore, the optimal dilution of the enzyme-labeled secondary antibody was determined to be 10,000 times and the action time was 30 minutes.

[0152] (4) Determination of the optimal substrate action time

[0153] According to the optimal antigen coating concentration determined in the above test, the antigen plate was prepared, and 5 PEDV-positive sera and 3 PEDV-negative sera were selected for incubation according to the optimal serum dilution multiple and serum incubation time. The enzyme-labeled secondary antibody and the action time were carried out according to the determined optimal conditions. TMB (tetramethylbenzenediamine) was used as the substrate for 10 min, 15 min and 20 min respectively. After the reaction was terminated, the OD 450nm Read the values ​​at the wavelength, calculate the average P / N value, and determine the optimal substrate action time based on the average P / N value.

[0154] Table 6. Determination of the optimal substrate action time

[0155]

[0156] The results showed (Table 6) that the average P / N value was the highest (19.59) when the substrate was exposed for 15 min, so the optimal substrate exposure time was determined to be 15 min.

[0157] (5) Determination of ELISA critical value

[0158] After the ELISA reaction conditions were determined, 49 serum samples that were negative for antibodies detected by the commercial IDEXX PEDVIgA antibody detection kit were selected, and positive and negative control wells were set. Then, according to the above optimal working conditions, ELISA detection was performed to calculate the average S / P value of the 49 negative sera (S / P value = (sample detection OD 450nm Value-negative control serum OD 450nm value) / (positive control serum OD 450nm - Negative control serum OD 450nm The critical value is calculated according to the formula critical value = (average S / P value of negative samples + 3 × s value) to determine the result judgment standard. The average S / P value of negative serum is calculated to be 0.0515 and the standard deviation is 0.0518. Therefore, the critical value of the test is set to 0.207. That is, when the S / P value of the sample to be tested is ≥0.207, it is judged as positive, and when the S / P value is <0.207, it is judged as negative.

[0173] (1) Specificity experiment

[0174] According to the optimal detection conditions determined in Example 2, the PEDV-S1-iELISA kit assembled in Example 3 was used to test 92 clinical samples that were negative for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus antibodies detected by the commercialized IDEXX PEDVIgA kit (wherein the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus negative samples include: swine fever positive serum, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome positive serum, porcine circovirus type 2 positive serum, pseudorabies positive serum) and 96 clinical samples that were positive for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus antibodies detected by the IDEXX PEDVIgA kit.

[0182]

[0183] (3) Repeatability test

[0184] A total of 7 porcine clinical serum samples that were positive and negative for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus antibodies detected by the IDEXX PEDVIgA kit were selected and tested three times on the antigen-coated plates of the same batch of PEDV-S1-iELISA kits to evaluate intra-batch repeatability; the tests were performed on three antigen-coated plates from different batches to evaluate inter-batch repeatability. The average OD of each serum sample was calculated separately. 450nm value and standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation

Inter-batch difference analysis showed that the coefficient of variation was 0.78% to 11.36%, with an average of 4.83%. The results show that the coefficient of variation is <15% for both intra-batch and inter-batch repeated tests, indicating that this kit has good intra-batch repeatability and inter-batch repeatability.
