The invention relates to the field of veterinary protozoology and methods for producing antigens, particularly for the diagnosis of Surra Su-Auru in animals. The objective of the invention is to develop a method for producing a highly sensitive trypanosomal antigen for the serological diagnosis of Surra (Su-Auru) in animals. The problem is solved by the fact that the method for obtaining trypanosome antigen for serological diagnostics of Surra (Su-Auru) in animals involves infecting rabbits intratesticularly with live trypanosomes of the T species. evansi, removal of the spleen 2-3 days after infection, total bleeding 8-10 days after splenectomy (parasitemia -80-90%), blood is collected in a wide vessel with 2% sodium citrate in physiological solution with constant stirring with a glass rod, at the rate of 1 part blood to 2 parts solution, settling of citrated blood in the refrigerator for 18-24 hours, centrifugation and separation of the middle layer from the sediment from the supernatant, 2-3 times washing of trypanosomes in physiological solution, at 3000-5000 rpm, for 10 minutes each, disintegration of the centrifugate by ultrasound at a frequency of 22 kHz, power of 60 W / cm2 for 8-12 minutes, followed by centrifugation of the disintegrate at 8000-10000 rpm for 20-30 minutes and collection of sediment (endoantigen), treatment of the supernatant with TCA, collection of the precipitated sediment (exoantigen), batches of sediment are mixed 10:1. The technical result provided by the utility model is expressed in the development of a method for obtaining a highly sensitive trypanosomal antigen for the serological diagnosis of Surra (Su-Auru) in animals.

The present invention relates to the production of beneficial molecules in vivo using genetically modified non-pathogenic microorganisms. The invention can be applied to various fields such as medicine, human performance and veterinary medicine. In various embodiments, the use of a non-pathogenic microorganism transgenic trypanosoma rangeli can be purposefully engineered, altered, and designed such that it, after genetic modification, becomes a blood symbiont in humans and animals to express foreign nucleic acid sequences encoding proteins, polynucleotides, and / or pathways, such as proteins, polynucleotides, and / or pathways. Thereby treating a disease or enhancing specific aspects of host physiology, including the metabolic advantage of correcting or enhancing homeostatic imbalance in appropriate cases. The foreign nucleic acid sequences can be used to generate enzymes, scavenger molecules, peptides and hormones, antibodies, nanoantibodies, signaling ligands, and other therapeutic agents or novel synthetic agents.

The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biology and medical detection, and discloses a universal trypanosomes detection primer pair and a digital PCR detection method. According to the invention, two pairs of high-specificity universal primers are designed based on highly conserved 18S rRNA sequences among trypanosomes, and the sequences are shown as SEQ ID NO: 1-2 or SEQ ID NO: 12-13. Meanwhile, the invention provides an optimized digital PCR detection method, and the detection sensitivity and specificity are remarkably improved by accurately optimizing key parameters such as annealing temperature and primer concentration. Experiments prove that the system can stably detect a whole blood simulation sample with the trypanosomes content as low as 5 / ml or a trypanosomes sample with the DNA content as low as 0.01 pg (single reaction system), and the detection limit can reach a single copy level. The invention provides a powerful technical tool for early diagnosis, precise medication guidance and epidemiological monitoring of trypanosomiasis.
