Major surface protein (MSP) 1a of the genus type species Anaplasma marginale (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) together with MSP1b forms the MSP1 complex. MSP1a has been shown to be involved in adhesion, infection and tick transmission of A. marginale, as well as to contribute to protective immunity in cattle. A differential antibody response to MSP1a and MSP1b was observed in cattle immunized with A. marginale derived from bovine erythrocytes (anti-MSP1a response) or cultured tick cells (anti-MSP1b response). In this study, we further characterized the MSP1a antibody response of cattle using several immunogens, including recombinant MSP1a (rMSP1a) protein, erythrocyte- or tick cell culture-derived A. marginale, or a combination of tick cell culture-derived A. marginale and rMSP1a. The MSP1a antibody response to all these immunogens was directed primarily against the N-terminal region of MSP1a that contains tandemly repeated peptides, whereas low antibody levels were detected against the C-terminal portion. Linear B-cell epitopes of MSP1a were mapped using synthetic peptides representing the entire sequence of the protein that were prepared by SPOT synthesis technology. Only two peptides in the N-terminal repeats were recognized by sera from immunized cattle. These peptides shared the sequence SSAGGQQQESS, which is likely to contain the linear B-cell epitope that was recognized by the pools of bovine sera. The average differential of antibody titers against MSP1a minus those against MSP1b correlated with lower percent reductions in PCV. A preferential antibody response to MSP1a was observed in cattle immunized with erythrocyte-derived, cell culture-derived plus rMSP1a or rMSP1a alone, and the percent reduction PCV was significantly lower in these cattle as compared with the other immunization groups. These results provide insight into the bovine antibody response against A. marginale and the role of MSP1a in protection of cattle against A. marginale infection. 相似文献

Major surface protein 1 (MSP1) of the cattle pathogen Anaplasma marginale (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) is a complex of two proteins, MSP1a and MSP1b. Previous studies demonstrated that MSP1a and MSP1b are adhesins for bovine erythrocytes, while only MSP1a proved to be an adhesin for tick cells. In this study, a tick cell culture system for propagation of A. marginale was used to develop an infection inhibition assay for testing the ability of antisera to block infection of A. marginale for cultured tick cells. A. marginale derived from cell culture was incubated with various antisera prior to inoculation onto cell monolayers. The monolayers were harvested 7 days post-inoculation and A. marginale in the cultures was quantified using an antigen detection ELISA. Antisera tested in the infection inhibition assay were derived from persistently infected cattle, from cattle immunized with A. marginale purified from bovine erythrocytes, and from rabbits and cattle that were immunized with the recombinant MSP1a, MSP1b and MSP1 complex. Antibodies from cattle persistently infected with A. marginale, cattle immunized with A. marginale from bovine erythrocytes or cattle immunized with the recombinant MSP1 complex did not inhibit the infectivity of A. marginale for tick cells. Antiserum from rabbits immunized with MSP1a and MSP1b (individually or combined) reduced infection of both the Virginia and Oklahoma isolates of A. marginale for tick cells by 25-70%. Likewise, antisera from cattle immunized with recombinant MSP1a or MSP1b inhibited infection of tick cells by 26-37%. These results further confirm the role of MSP1 complex proteins in infection of tick cells. Lack of inhibition of infection by antisera from naturally infected cattle or cattle immunized with whole organisms suggests that the bovine immune response is not directed toward blocking infection of A. marginale for tick cells and may contribute to the continued infectivity of the pathogen for ticks. 相似文献

The major surface protein (MSP) 1a of the genus type species Anaplasma marginale (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) has been shown to mediate adhesion, infection and transmission of the organism, as well as to contribute to protective immunity in cattle. MSP1a contains a variable number of tandemly repeated peptides in the amino-terminal region, while the remainder of the protein is highly conserved among isolates. The number of repeats varies among geographic isolates of A. marginale but is constant within an isolate and has been used as a stable genetic marker of isolate identity. Because the sequence of the tandem repeats is the most variable part of the protein among isolates, this region of the protein is most likely to be involved in adhesion to host cells, a prerequisite to infection. The purpose of this study was to characterize the organization and function of the MSP1a tandem repeats of A. marginale in adhesion to host cells. We demonstrated by use of recombinant mutant proteins that the tandemly repeated region of MSP1a was necessary and sufficient to mediate adhesion of MSP1a to tick cells and bovine erythrocytes. Synthetic peptides representing the predominant sequences of individual repeats were tested for their adhesive capacity for tick cell extract (TCE). Peptides containing acidic amino acids D or E at position 20 bound to TCE, while peptides with a G as the 20th amino acid were not adhesive to TCE. Antibodies produced in rabbits against a synthetic repeat peptide neutralized A. marginale infection of cultured tick cells, and the neutralization observed was similar to that effected by antibodies produced against the whole MSP1a recombinant protein. Analysis of tandemly repeated MSP1a peptides of several geographic isolates of A. marginale revealed a complex relationship between the msp1alpha genotype and the tick-transmissible phenotype of the isolate and suggested that both the sequence and conformation of the repeated peptides influenced the adhesive properties of MSP1a. These studies demonstrated that the tandemly repeated region of the protein mediates the adhesive function of MSP1a. 相似文献

Anaplasmosis, a hemolytic disease of cattle caused by the tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma marginale (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) has been controlled using killed vaccines made with antigen harvested from infected bovine erythrocytes. We recently developed a cell culture system for propagation of A. marginale in a continuous tick cell line. In this study, we performed a cattle trial to compare the bovine response to vaccination with A. marginale harvested from tick cell culture or bovine erythrocytes. All immunized and control cattle were then challenge-exposed by allowing male Dermacentor variabilis infected with A. marginale to feed and transmit the pathogen. Nine yearling cattle (three per group) were used for this study and were immunized with cell culture-derived A. marginale, erythrocyte-derived A. marginale or received adjuvant only to serve as controls. Each vaccine dose contained approximately 2 x 10(10) A. marginale and three immunizations were administered at weeks 1, 4 and 6. At week 8, cattle were challenge-exposed by allowing 60 D. variabilis male that were infected with A. marginale as adults to feed on the cattle. Antibody responses of cattle against major surface proteins (MSP) 1a, 1b and 5, as determined by ELISAs, peaked 2 weeks after the last immunization. Cattle immunized with infected IDE8 cell-derived antigens had a preferential recognition for MSP1b while cattle immunized with erythrocyte-derived antigens had a preferential recognition for MSP1a. Protection efficacy was evaluated using the percent infected erythrocytes (PPE), the packed cell volume (PCV), and the prepatent period. A. marginale-immunized cattle showed lower PPE and higher PCV values when compared to control animals and did not display clinical anaplasmosis. The cell culture-derived A. marginale shows promise for use as antigen in development of a new killed vaccine for anaplasmosis. 相似文献

Molecular conservation of MSP4 and MSP5 in Anaplasma marginale and A. centrale vaccine strain 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Anaplasma centrale msp4 and msp5 genes were cloned and sequenced, and the recombinant proteins were expressed. The identity between Anaplasma marginale and A. centrale MSP4 was 83% in the nucleotide sequences and 91.7% in the encoded protein sequences. A. centrale msp5 nucleotide sequences shared 86.8% identity with A. marginale msp5, and there was 92.9% homology between A. centrale and A. marginale encoded amino acids of the MSP5 protein. Southern blots hybridized with probes derived from the msp4 and msp5 central regions indicate that msp4 and msp5 of A. centrale are encoded by single copy genes. Recombinant MSP4 and MSP5 fusion proteins reacted with anti-A. marginale monoclonal antibodies ANAR76A1 and ANAF16C, respectively, demonstrating the conservation of conformation-sensitive B-cell epitopes between A. centrale and A. marginale. These data demonstrate the structural and antigenic conservation of MSP4 and MSP5 in A. centrale and A. marginale. This conservation is consistent with the cross-protective immunity between A. marginale and A. centrale and supports the development of improved vaccines based upon common outer membrane proteins. 相似文献

Antigenic characterization of A. marginale isolates has contributed to identifying the presence of common and restricts epitopes of major surface proteins (MSPs). The data may improve vaccine development to protect against A. marginale isolates from different regions. Brazilian A. marginale isolates were characterized antigenically by Western blot with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against MSPs and rabbit anti-MSP-4 from Florida strain. Six A. marginale isolates from MS, MG (AUFV1), SP, PR-L1, PR-HV, RS and Florida strain were tested with ANA22B1 to MSP-1a, AMR36A6 to MSP-1b, ANAF19E2 to MSP-2, AMG75C1 and AMG76B2 to MSP-3 and ANAF16C1 to MSP-5. ANA22B1 recognized MSP-1a epitope in all A. marginale isolates, and reacted with polypeptides of different size ranging 46-105kDa. MSP2 was not detected in MS and SP isolates by ANAF19E2, and only PR-L1 and MG (AUFV1) isolates reacted with MAbs which recognize MSP3 epitope. MSP4 and MSP5 were detected in all A. marginale isolates analyzed. The results revealed conservation of MSP-1a and MSP-5 epitopes among all Brazilian isolates, and showed antigenic variability to MSP-1b, MSP-2 and MSP-3 proteins, agreeing with recent data about the genetic diversity found in the polimorphic multigene family responsible for these proteins. 相似文献

Bovine anaplasmosis is a tick-borne hemolytic disease of cattle that occurs worldwide caused by the intraerythrocytic rickettsiae Anaplasma marginale. Control measures, including use of acaricides, administration of antibiotics and vaccines, have varied with geographic location. Our research is focused on the tick-pathogen interface for development of new vaccine strategies with the goal of reducing anaplasmosis, tick infestations and the vectorial capacity of ticks. Toward this approach, we have targeted (1) development of an A. marginale cell culture system to provide a non-bovine antigen source, (2) characterization of an A. marginale adhesion protein, and (3) identification of key tick protective antigens for reduction of tick infestations. A cell culture system for propagation of A. marginale was developed and provided a non-bovine source of A. marginale vaccine antigen. The A. marginale adhesion protein, MSP1a, was characterized and use of recombinant MSP1a in vaccine formulations reduced clinical anaplasmosis and infection levels in ticks that acquired infection on immunized cattle. Most recently, we identified a tick-protective antigen, subolesin, that reduced tick infestations, as well as the vectorial capacity of ticks for acquisition and transmission of A marginale. This integrated approach to vaccine development shows promise for developing new strategies for control of bovine anaplasmosis. 相似文献
