Swine dysentery (SD) is an important endemic infection in many piggeries, and control can be problematic. In this study the efficacy of BmpB, a 29.7 kDa outer-membrane lipoprotein of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, was evaluated as an SD vaccine. Non-lipidated BmpB was expressed in Escherichia coli as a histidine-tagged protein (His6-BmpB), or as an 8 kDa carboxy-terminal portion fused to maltose-binding protein (MBP-BmpB-F604). The purified proteins were emulsified with oil-based adjuvants for intramuscular (im) administrations. In experiment 1, 20 weaner pigs were vaccinated im with 1 mg of His6-BmpB. After 3 weeks, 10 received 1 mg of the protein orally (im/oral), and 10 received 1 mg im (im/im). Ten acted as unvaccinated controls. In experiment 2, 12 pigs were vaccinated im with 1 mg of His6-BmpB, and 12 with 1 mg of MBP-BmpB-F604. Three weeks later, each was given 1 mg of the same protein orally. Twelve pigs acted as unvaccinated controls. All pigs were challenged orally with B. hyodysenteriae 2 weeks after their second vaccination. In both experiments, all pigs vaccinated with His6-BmpB developed serum antibodies to BmpB, and oral administration provided boosting of im-induced serum antibody titres. In experiment 1, seven non-vaccinated control pigs developed dysentery and severe colitis. Three pigs vaccinated im/oral developed diarrhoea; two had severe colitis and one had mild lesions. Four pigs vaccinated im/im developed diarrhoea; one had severe colitis and the others had mild lesions. In experiment 2, six control pigs developed SD with severe colitis. Two His6-BmpB vaccinated pigs developed SD with mild colitis. Nine pigs vaccinated with MBP-BmpB-F604 developed SD and severe colitis. Overall, 50-70% of controls and 17-40% of His6-BmpB vaccinated pigs developed disease. Vaccination with MBP-BmpB-F604 did not induce serum titres against BmpB, nor confer protection. The incidence of disease for the three His6-BmpB vaccinated groups was significantly less (P = 0.047) than for the control groups, with a approximately 50% reduction. BmpB appears to have potential as an SD vaccine component. 相似文献

The distribution of the bmpB gene encoding BmpB, a 29.7 kDa outer membrane lipoprotein of the intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, was investigated. Using PCR, the gene was detected in all the 48 strains of B. hyodysenteriae examined and in Brachyspira innocens strain B256T, but not in 11 other strains of B. innocens nor in 42 strains of other Brachyspira spp. The gene was sequenced from B. innocens strain B256T and from 11 strains of B. hyodysenteriae. The B. hyodysenteriae genes shared 97.9-100% nucleotide sequence similarity and had 97.5-99.5% similarity with the gene of B. innocens strain B256T. Southern hybridisation indicated that bmpB was present on a 1.9 kb HindIII fragment of the B. hyodysenteriae genome and on a 3.1 kb fragment of the B. innocens B256T genome. The B. innocens lipoprotein did not react in Western blots with monoclonal antibody BJL/SH1 that reacts with the B. hyodysenteriae lipoprotein. The difference in binding with the monoclonal antibody may reside in the replacement of a serine residue with a tyrosine residue at base position 210 in the lipoprotein from B. innocens B256T. Comparison of the BmpB amino acid sequence with sequences in the SWISS-PROT protein database indicated that it has 33.9-39.9% similarity with the d-methionine binding proteins (MetQ) of a number of pathogenic bacterial species. The bmpB gene was confirmed to be the same as a gene of B. hyodysenteriae that was recently designated "blpA". 相似文献

Mycoplasma suis belongs to the haemotrophic mycoplasmas which colonise red blood cells of a wide range of vertebrates. Adhesion to red blood cells is the crucial step in the unique lifecycle of M. suis. Due to the lack of a cultivation system, identification of adhesion structures has been difficult. So far, only one adhesion protein, i.e. MSG1 was identified. In order to determine further adhesion molecules of M. suis, we screened genomic M. suis libraries and performed Southern blot hybridisation analyses of genomic M. suis DNA. The α-enolase of M. suis was identified and analysed genetically and functionally. The encoding gene has 1623 bp in size. The deduced amino acid sequence showed an overall identity of 59.6-65.1% to α-enolases of other pathogenic mycoplasmas. The 540 aa M. suis α-enolase displays a size extension of about 90 aa in comparison to α-enolases of other mycoplasmas. Recombinant α-enolase expressed in Escherichia coli demonstrated immunogenicity in experimentally infected pigs. Immunoblot, confocal laser scanning microscopy and immune electron microscopy analysis using antibodies against recombinant α-enolase, indicate the membrane and surface localisation of native α-enolase in M. suis, though no typical signal sequences exist. Furthermore, we showed that recombinant α-enolase binds to porcine erythrocyte lysate in a dose-dependent manner. E. coli transformants which express α-enolase on their surface acquire the ability to adhere to porcine red blood cells. In conclusion, our observations indicate that α-enolase could be involved in the adhesion of M. suis to porcine red blood cells. 相似文献

A novel outer membrane protein-encoding gene was identified in Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. The predicted protein, SmpB, was encoded by a gene that contains regions of identity with that encoding the previously identified lipoprotein SmpA. However, the majority of the reading frame encoding SmpA and SmpB share no detectable similarity. Analysis of several strains revealed that B. hyodysenteriae harbours either smpA or the newly identified gene smpB, but not both. smpB encodes for a slightly larger protein than smpA, 17.6 and 16.8 kDa, respectively. The predicted proteins share an identical leader sequence and the first 10 amino acids of the mature protein, however, the remainder of the predicted protein sequence shows no similarity. It is hypothesised that smpA and smpB are present on the same area of the chromosome. The proteins are antigenically unique, as antisera raised against a strain of B. hyodysenteriae that expresses SmpA cannot detect SmpB and vice versa. Although the presence of an identical leader peptide suggests identical localisation of SmpA and SmpB, it is not known if the two predicted proteins share similar function. 相似文献

The ompA genes encoding the 40 kDa major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Chlamydophila (Ch.) abortus, Ch. pecorum, and Chlamydia (C.) suis were cloned into the arabinose-inducible plasmid vector pBADMycHis, and recombinant MOMPs (rMOMP) from the three chlamydial species were expressed at high levels in Escherichia (E.) coli. The proteins lacking the 22 aa N-terminal signal peptide were expressed as insoluble cytoplasmic inclusion bodies which were readily purified using immobilized metal-affinity chromatography. The rMOMPs including the N-terminal signal peptide were expressed and translocated as a surface-exposed immunoaccessible protein into the outer membrane of E. coli. Transformants expressing this full-length rMOMP were significantly reduced in viability. Purified native elementary bodies (EB) and rMOMPs of the three chlamydial species purified from the E. coli cytoplasm were used for immunization of rabbits. The resulting sera were analysed for their ability to recognize homologous and heterologous rMOMP and native EB. When testing rMOMP antisera against rMOMP and EB antigens, marked cross-reactivities were detected between the three species. Using EB antisera and rMOMPs as antigens, a significant species-specific reactivity was measured. 相似文献

An attenuated strain of Treponema hyodysenteriae was used to immunise 18 pigs in three experiments. Live attenuated spirochaetes were dosed orally and injected intra-peritoneally, and killed spirochaetes were injected intramuscularly with adjuvant. The vaccinated pigs, which developed high serum agglutination titres against T hyodysenteriae, and 18 unvaccinated litter-mates were repeatedly challenged with virulent T hyodysenteriae. Nine vaccinated pigs and 16 control pigs developed typical swine dysentery. 相似文献

A recombinant plasmid that codes for a novel iron receptor protein (Irp) of Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica A1 was isolated by the partial complementation of an Escherichia coli fur mutant. The deduced amino acid sequence of Irp exhibited characteristics typical of TonB-dependent receptors. These include: a TonB-box at the N-terminal; a 50 amino acid region homologous to the "plug" domain of the E. coli FhuA and FepA receptors; and a C-terminal TonB-dependent signature which likely functions as an outer membrane anchoring domain. Previously uncharacterized Irp homologues were detected by BLAST analysis of available databases and incomplete microbial genomes. When the irp homologues from Neisseria gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis were cloned by PCR and expressed in E. coli, novel proteins of the predicted size (84kDa) were detected in cell lysates, demonstrating that these are functional genes. The M. haemolytica A1 irp gene undergoes phase variation at a nucleotide region which contain the sequence AAAAAAATTAAAA (7A-2T-4A) flanked by a short inverted repeat. Site-specific mutagenesis of the 7A-2T-4A sequence as well as replacement of the inverted repeats resulted in a stable construct that expressed the Irp protein without phase variation. The expression of irp in M. haemolytica A1 was regulated by iron concentrations and most likely a Fur homologue, consistent with the proposed function of Irp in iron metabolism. The irp genes may represent contingency loci that play a role in iron acquisition during infection. 相似文献

Outer membrane proteins of Pasteurella (P.) multocida have been known to be protective immunogens. Pasteurella lipoprotein E (PlpE) has been reported to be an important cross reactive outer membrane protein in P. multocida. The gene encoding the PlpE of P. multocida serotypes A: 3, B: 2 and D: 1 was amplified from the genomic DNA. The amplified products were cloned and the nucleotide sequence was determined. Sequence analysis of the recombinant clones revealed a single open reading frame of 1,011 bp, 1,008 bp and 1,017 bp encoding a protein with a calculated molecular mass of 37.829 kDa, 37.389 kDa and 37.965 kDa for serotypes A: 3, B: 2 and D: 1 respectively. The comparison of the plpE sequence in different capsular types revealed a high degree (>90%) of homology. Furthermore, the plpE gene of Haemorhhagic septicaemia causing serotype (B: 2) was expressed in E. coli and recombinant PlpE was strongly immunostained by antiserum against whole cell antigen, indicating that the protein is expressed in vivo. 相似文献

Pasteurella haemolytica biotype A serotype 1 is the principal etiologic agent of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis. A clear understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease and the mechanisms of resistance to it has been limited by a lack of information on the important antigens of the organisms. Using recombinant DNA techniques we have cloned a segment of DNA from P. haemolytica A1 that encodes three proteins of 28, 30, and 32 kDa. Two of these proteins, 30 and 28 kDa, react strongly on a Western blot with a bovine serum raised against live cells of P. haemolytica A1. The gene for the 30 kDa protein was localized to a 3.1 kbp EcoRI fragment, and expression of the 30 kDa protein was found to be independent of an E. coli promoter. The 30 kDa protein comigrated with a 30 kDa P. haemolytica protein that was susceptible to radioiodination and presumably exposed on the bacterial cell surface. The other principal radiolabeled P. haemolytica proteins were 100, 45, and 15 kDa. Antibodies against the 30 kDa protein, isolated from E. coli carrying the recombinant plasmid, recognized 30 kDa and 15 kDa proteins in P. haemolytica serotypes 1-15 and caused agglutination of whole P. haemolytica A1 cells. Cattle vaccinated with live P. haemolytica, P. haemolytica outer membrane proteins, or the cloned 30 kDa protein developed antibodies to the cloned 30 kDa protein as detected by Western blotting and densitometry. Sera were obtained from cattle vaccinated with live or killed P. haemolytica or saline and challenged with P. haemolytica. Those sera were evaluated for antibody responses to the cloned 30 kDa protein. High antibody responses to the 30 kDa protein significantly correlated (P less than 0.01) with resistance to challenge. From these studies it is concluded that the 30 kDa protein represents a surface antigen of P. haemolytica A1 that may be important in inducing immunity to P. haemolytica. 相似文献

The distribution of many genes encoding virulence and virulence life-style (VL-S) factors in Brachyspira (B.) hyodysenteriae and other Brachyspira species are largely unknown. Their knowledge is essential e.g. for the improvement of diagnostic methods targeting the detection and differentiation of the species. Thus 121 German Brachyspira field isolates from diarrhoeic pigs were characterized down to the species level by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the nox gene and subsequently subjected to polymerase chain reaction detecting VL-S genes for inner (clpX) and outer membrane proteins (OMPs: bhlp16, bhlp17.6, bhlp29.7, bhmp39f, bhmp39h), hemolysins (hlyA/ACP, tlyA), iron metabolism (ftnA, bitC), and aerotolerance (nox). For comparison, B. hyodysenteriae reference strains from the USA (n=7) and Australia (2) were used. Of all genes tested only nox was detected in all isolates. The simultaneous presence of both the tlyA and hlyA/ACP was restricted to the species B. hyodysenteriae. The hlyA infrequently occurred also in weakly hemolytic Brachyspira. Similarly to tlyA and hlyA all B. hyodysenteriae strains contained the ferritin gene ftnA which was also found in two Brachyspira intermedia isolates. OMP encoding genes were present in B. hyodysenteriae field isolates in rates of 0% (bhlp17.6, bhmp39h), 58.1% (bhlp29.7), and 97.3% (bhmp39f). Since the study revealed a high genetic heterogeneity among German B. hyodysenteriae field isolates differentiating them from USA as well as Australian strains, targets for diagnostic PCR were limited to the nox gene (genus specific PCR) as well as to the species specific nox(hyo) gene and the combination of hlyA and tlyA which allow to specifically detect B. hyodysenteriae. 相似文献

A gene encoding the mature Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) lacking the nick site in the A subunit by deleting tripeptides was introduced in a vector pNH301 and expressed extracellularly as mutant molecule of holotoxin at high levels in Bacilus brevis HPD31-S5 of the host bacterium. The mucosal adjuvant activities of the produced mutant LT (mLT) preparation were studied in pigs and cattle. Intranasal immunization of pigs with the recombinant subunit vaccine of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae or the component vaccine of Bordetella bronchiseptica mixed with the mLT resulted in a substantial enhancement of both mucosal and serum-specific antibody levels. The immunized pigs were also protected when challenge-exposed intradermally with a highly virulent E. rhusiopathiae strain or challenge-exposed intranasally with a highly virulent strain of B. bronchiseptica. The mLT intranasally administered with recombinant intimin (an outer membrane adhesin) of E. coli O157:H7 also induced an elevation of IgA-specific antibody in the nasal secretion and saliva of calves as well as an elevation of IgG1-specific antibody level against the intimin in the sera and colostrum of cows. The three kinds tested protein antigens were poorly immunogenic when antigen administered intranasally alone. The mLT intranasally administered at a higher effective dose did not induce local adverse reactions or diarrhea in pigs and cattle. The present study demonstrates that the recombinant mLT produced using the B. brevis expression system might represent promising immunoadjuvants for the potential application of intranasal vaccines directed against infectious diseases in pigs and cattle. 相似文献

Groups of five pigs were vaccinated at three to four weeks old with either formolised Treponema hyodysenteriae in oil adjuvant alone, formolised T hyodysenteriae in oil adjuvant plus formolised Campylobacter coli in oil adjuvant, or sterile medium in oil adjuvant (as a control). Each group was challenged four weeks after vaccination by oral dosing on two consecutive occasions with pure cultures of the homologous strain of T hyodysenteriae plus direct contact with two pigs exhibiting severe swine dysentery. The disease was observed in two of five pigs immunised with T hyodysenteriae alone, three of five pigs immunised with T hyodysenteriae plus C coli and all five controls; haemorrhagic diarrhoea was exhibited only by the control group. Each pig immunised with T hyodysenteriae (alone or with C coli) recovered spontaneously, whereas four controls died. Vaccination with T hyodysenteriae also markedly reduced the severity and duration of clinical signs and of weight loss. No differences were observed in response to challenge between pigs immunised with T hyodysenteriae alone and pigs immunised with T hyodysenteriae plus C coli. 相似文献
