刚地弓形虫(Toxoplasma gondii)是一种可以感染几乎所有温血动物的专性细胞内寄生原虫。该寄生虫入侵和感染宿主细胞需要其分泌细胞器所分泌的蛋白,其中包括微线体蛋白。近年来,CRISPR/Cas9技术已经成为分子生物学和功能基因组学研究的重要工具,本研究利用CRISPR/Cas9技术对弓形虫Ⅰ型虫株RH和Ⅱ型虫株PRU的微线体蛋白mic3基因进行敲除。通过单克隆的筛选和鉴定,成功获得了2种虫株的mic3敲除株。之后对RH敲除株进行研究,发现mic3缺失可以轻微提高虫体在体外培养时的生长速度以及对小鼠的毒力。本研究不仅说明了CRISPR/Cas9技术可以应用到弓形虫的基因敲除和改造上,并且不受弓形虫虫株的限制,同时也为进一步研究mic3在虫体中的功能奠定基础。 相似文献

Toxoplasma gondii rhomboid protein 1 (TgROM1) is a potential vaccine candidate against toxoplasmosis
Infection with the intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii causes serious public health problems and is of great economic importance worldwide. The rhomboid proteins which are responsible for adhesion and invasion of host cells have been suggested as vaccine candidates against toxoplasmosis. A DNA vaccine (pVAX-ROM1) encoding T. gondii rhomboid protein 1 (TgROM1) gene was constructed and the immune response and protective efficacy of this vaccine against lethal challenge in BALB/c mice were evaluated. The results indicated that specific antibody and lymphocyte proliferative responses were elicited in mice receiving pVAX-ROM1. The production levels of IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, and IL-10, as well as the percentage of CD4(+) cells in mice vaccinated with pVAX-ROM1 were significantly increased respectively, compared to controls receiving either pVAX1 alone or PBS. After lethal challenge, the mice immunized with pVAX-ROM1 showed an increased survival time compared with the mice in the controls. Our data suggested that a DNA vaccine pVAX-ROM1 encoding T. gondii rhomboid protein 1 triggered strong humoral and cellular responses, and prolonged survival time against T. gondii infection in BALB/c mice. 相似文献

Parasitologic evaluations of 112 fecal specimens from 292 mammals from the Santiago National Zoo (36 specimens were pooled specimens from greater than or equal to 2 animals) indicated that 51 mammals had protozoa or helminths in their feces. Most of the parasites in the herbivorous species were trichurids and strongylids, whereas most of the parasites in the carnivorous species were ascarids. Coccidia spp and Giardia spp were the most frequently detected protozoans in the mammals evaluated. Of 127 captive mammals serologically evaluated for antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii (indirect hemagglutination test), 35 (27.5%) were positive for T gondii: 7 (46.6%) of 15 carnivores, 24 (25.2%) of 95 artyodactyls, and 4 (22.5%) of 17 nonhuman primates. Antibodies against T gondii also were found in 8 of 10 domestic cats captured within the zoo and in 6 of 13 volunteer zookeepers. 相似文献

Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that has been extensively studied due to its medical and veterinary importance in terminating pregnancies. Consequently, a satisfactory vaccine is required to control its adverse effects on pregnant animals. The microneme protein, MIC3, is a major adhesion protein that binds to the surface of host cells and parasites, and is therefore a potential vaccine against T. gondii. The viability of MIC3 as a vaccine is investigated in this study. Sheep were injected twice, intramuscularly, with plasmids containing DNA encoding for the mature form of MIC3 protein formulated into liposomes. Control sheep were injected with an empty vector or received no injections. The injection of sheep with DNA plasmids encoding for MIC3 elicited an immune response after the first and second injections as indicated by antibody responses and the production of IFN-gamma. The immune response, as measured by the IgG2 and IgG1 serum levels, was boosted after the injection of the MIC3 DNA vaccine together with high anti-MIC3 antibodies. The results demonstrate that the intramuscular injection of sheep with a plasmid containing DNA coding for MIC3 protein induces a significant and effective immune response against T. gondii. 相似文献

Partial protection against tissue cysts formation in pigs vaccinated with crude rhoptry proteins of Toxoplasma gondii 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

A vaccine containing crude Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry proteins incorporated in the immunostimulating complexes (ISCOM) adjuvant was tested in pigs for protecting against tissue cyst formation. For this, 38 mixed breed pigs were divided into four groups, G1 (vaccinated challenged, n=10) received two doses (100 microg/dose) of the rhoptry vaccine at days 0 and 21, G2 (vaccinated challenged, n=10) received viable tachyzoites (7 x 10(7)) of the RH strain at day 0, G3 (unvaccinated challenged, n=10) and G4 (unvaccinated unchallenged, n=8). Pigs were challenged with 4 x 10(4) VEG strain oocysts 57 days later. The G1 pigs produced high IgG antibody levels in the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) after the second dose of rhoptry vaccine, but were not clinically protected against a high dose oocyst challenge. Partial protection was observed in G1 at the chronic phase of infection, when compared with G3. Pigs in group 2 developed high antibody levels and were protected against clinic signs. T. gondii was not detected in two (G1) and three (G2) pigs by mouse bioassay. The results indicate partial protection in pigs vaccinated with a rhoptry vaccine. 相似文献
