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

Recombinant major outer membrane proteins (rMOMP) of Chlamydophila (Ch.) abortus, Ch. pecorum, and Chlamydia (C.) suis were used as antigens to distinguish chlamydial species-specific antibodies in (i) immune sera from six rabbits and three pigs raised against native purified elementary bodies, (ii) serum samples from 25 sows vaccinated with Ch. abortus, and (iii) 40 serum samples from four heifers experimentally infected with Ch. abortus. All post-exposition sera contained chlamydial antibodies as confirmed by strong ELISA seroreactivities against the chlamydial LPS. For the rMOMP ELISA mean IgG antibody levels were at least 5.8-fold higher with the particular rMOMP homologous to the chlamydial species used for immunisation or infection than with heterologous rMOMPs (P <0.001). Preferential rMOMP ELISA reactivities of sera were confirmed by Western blotting. The results suggest that the entire chlamydial rMOMP could provide a species-specific serodiagnostic antigen. 相似文献

A chlamydial vaccine efficacy trial with assessment of the clinical acceptability and serum antibody responses was performed in breeding sows. A BGM cell culture derived vaccine containing 10(8)/ml formalin-inactivated purified elementary bodies (Eb.) in sterile 0.15 M saline was prepared from Chlamydophila (Ch.) abortus strain OCHL03/99 which has been isolated in the herd from a sample of vaginal discharge. Vaccination was performed as a randomised trial with parallel treatment of a vaccinated group (25 sows) and non-vaccinated control group (20 sows). Sows received two 2.0-ml doses of vaccine intramuscularly at a three week interval. Control sows were dosed with sterile 0.15 M saline, accordingly. Serological response to vaccination was measured by ELISA with a total of 204 blood serum samples (114 from the vaccine group; 90 from the control group) using crude chlamydial LPS as the antigen. Compared to the control group, vaccinated sows showed a marked primary and secondary IgG serum antibody response following the two vaccinations. Antibody levels peaked between week 7 and 14 after priming vaccination, declined incrementally until week 27 but remained significantly higher than the corresponding sham-immune control levels and the prevaccination values of the vaccine group (p < 0.05). Western blot analysis of solubilized whole Eb. of Ch. abortus, Ch. pecorum, and Chlamydia (C.) suis with pre- and postvaccination sera confirmed that vaccination induced an antibody response preferentially against a range of 13 chlamydial antigens including the 40 kDa MOMP of Ch. abortus. Clinical side effects consisting of a transient mild local inflammatory reaction at the site of injection were observed in approx. 30% of vaccinated sows. These results provide the basis for further clinical evaluation of the Ch. abortus vaccine to protect sows from chlamydia-induced reproductive disorders. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the sensitivity and specificity of Chlamydophila abortus antibody assays, to find a suitable serological assay for testing sheep for export. DESIGN: Comparison of results from known positive and negative sheep populations. PROCEDURE: Fifty-five positive and fifty negative sera were analysed by four enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), three using recombinant antigens based on the chlamydial polymorphic outer membrane proteins (POMP90-3, POMP90-4, POMP80-90) and one using a synthetic peptide based on chlamydial major outer membrane proteins (MOMP-P). They were also analysed by complement fixation tests (CFT) using crude antigens from chlamydia isolated from an Australian sheep, a Californian parakeet and a Texan turkey. Assay sensitivity and specificity were expressed as point estimates and 95% confidence intervals. Results were compared using McNemar's test for paired samples. RESULTS: ELISA sensitivity ranged from 70 to 98% and complement fixation test sensitivity from 60 to 96%; with POMP90-3 > POMP90-4 > CFT (parakeet) > CFT (turkey) > POMP80-90 > MOMP-P > CFT (sheep). There was no significant difference from POMP90-3 to POMP80-90 (P > 0.05). ELISA specificity ranged from 88 to 100% and CFT specificity was 100% for all three antigens; with CFT and POMP90-4 > MOMP-P > POMP80-90 > POMP90-3. There was no significant difference from CFT to POMP80-90 (P > 0.05). Changing the CFT cut-off from 1:32 to 1:4 substantially reduced the specificity with little improvement in sensitivity. CONCLUSION: Assays using POMP90-4, POMP80-90, CFT (parakeet) and CFT (turkey) had equivalent sensitivity and specificity; none of the ELISAs were more specific than any CFT. The POMP80-90 ELISA is recommended as an alternative to CFT (parakeet) but as its specificity is not ideal the search for a more specific assay should continue. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to develop a new experimental model of Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection in the hamster. Intraperitoneal injection of C. pneumoniae purified elementary bodies (EBs) in the hamsters caused a systemic infection, since it was possible to isolate viable chlamydiae from several organs up to 14 days after infection. In particular, spleen infection was detectable up to 7 days post infection in 100% of animals. In contrast, cultures of the organs obtained from intranasally infected animals were far less frequently positive. Systemic infection probably occurred via macrophages, as demonstrated by the presence of intracellular chlamydial inclusions in peritoneal macrophages of peritoneally inoculated animals four days after infection. Furthermore, by infecting LLC-MK2 cells with supernatant preparations obtained from these macrophages, it was possible to observe the development of chlamydial intra-cytoplasmic inclusions after 96 h. Immunization of 18 hamsters with heat-inactivated purified EBs completely protected 16 animals and substantially reduced infection levels in the remaining two. Sera obtained from immunized hamsters prior to challenge reacted mainly against two C. pneumoniae proteins of about 60 kDa, when tested by immunoblot. 相似文献

Efficacy against ovine enzootic abortion of an experimental vaccine containing purified elementary bodies of Chlamydia psittaci 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
A vaccine prepared from purified, inactivated elementary bodies of Chlamydia psittaci protected sheep against abortion after subcutaneous challenge with live chlamydiae. Immunoblot analysis of serum samples revealed a consistently dominant antibody response against the chlamydial major outer membrane protein in all vaccinated sheep. Reactions to other chlamydial antigens were also detected but were less pronounced or inconsistent. Serological responses detected by complement fixation were variable and did not correlate with immunity. 相似文献

Both Chlamydophila psittaci and Escherichia coli infections are highly prevalent in Belgian turkeys and therefore they both might contribute to the respiratory disease complex observed in turkeys. C. psittaci can infect turkeys within the first week of age, even in the presence of maternal antibodies. However, the first C. psittaci outbreaks occur mostly at the age of 3 to 6 weeks, the period when also E. coli infections appear on the farms. Therefore, we examined in this study the pathogenicity of an E. coli superinfection on C. psittaci predisposed turkeys. Turkeys were infected with C. psittaci, E. coli or with C. psittaci followed by E. coli. Simulating the impact of an E. coli infection during the acute phase or the latent phase of a C. psittaci infection, turkeys received E. coli at 1 or 5 weeks post C. psittaci infection, respectively. E. coli superinfection during the acute phase of C. psittaci infection increased C. psittaci excretion and stimulated chlamydial replication in the respiratory tract resulting in exacerbated clinical disease. Interestingly, E. coli superinfection during the latent phase of C. psittaci infection induced chlamydial replication, leading to increased C. psittaci-specific antibody titres. In addition, chlamydial predisposition gave higher E. coli excretion compared with turkeys that had only been infected with E. coli. Overall, the present study clearly demonstrates the pathogenic interplay between C. psittaci and E. coli resulting in more severe respiratory disease. 相似文献

Chlamydophila psittaci (formerly Chlamydia psittaci) is one of the major pathogens associated with turkey respiratory disease. Devastating outbreaks with high mortality rates, similar to those of 1950 to 1970 in the USA occasionally occur, but respiratory signs without or with low mortality mostly characterize outbreaks now a day. Accurate diagnostic methods should be made available. The present study examined the sensitivity and specificity of a recombinant ELISA (rMOMP ELISA) for detecting Cp. psittaci major outer membrane specific antibodies in turkey sera. Test results were compared to those of immunoblotting and of a competitive ELISA (Chlamydia-psittaci-AK-EIA, R?hm Pharma, Germany) and an indirect ELISA (LPS/LGP) detecting antibodies to the lipopolysaccharide/lipoglycoprotein complex. The rMOMP ELISA was most sensitive as determined on serial dilutions of positive control sera originating from experimentally infected SPF turkeys. The competitive ELISA gave false positives since three negative controls reacted positive. For conventional sera, the sensitivities of the competitive ELISA, immunoblotting and the indirect ELISA were found to be 99.4, 93.1 and 82.2%, respectively, as compared to the rMOMP ELISA (100%). The specificities of the rMOMP ELISA, immunoblotting and the indirect ELISA were found to be 100% while the specificity of the competitive ELISA was only 2.7%. The rMOMP ELISA was chosen to compare the prevalence of chlamydiosis in 2002 with the one from 1992. In 2002, 188 on 200 (94%) turkey sera reacted positive compared to 175 on 200 (87.5%) in 1992 and like 10 years ago all examined farms were seropositive at slaughter. Interestingly, Belgian as well as French farms were seropositive. 相似文献

Each of the three major structural proteins (envelope glycoprotein E, nonglycosylated membrane protein M, and nucleoprotein N) of an American strain of procine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) was expressed using a recombinant baculovirus expression system. Insect cells infected with the respective recombinant baculovirus synthesized five distinct forms of glycoprotein E with a molecular mass (Mr) of either 17, 20, 23, 25 or 26 K, and a single form of nonglycosylated protein M and nucleocapsid N with a Mr of approximately 21 and 15 K, respectively. Because the number of forms of the glycoprotein E was reduced from five to two (20 and 17 K) when infected cells were treated with tunicamycin, we speculate that the 23, 25 and 26 K forms represent different degrees of glycosylation of the same protein, and that the 20 and 17 K peptides represent nonglycosylated forms with and without, respectively, the N-terminal signal sequence. All the proteins were identified by immunoblot with convalescent sera from animals infected with an American strain of PRRSV, indicating that they were similar to the native proteins. The recombinant proteins were purified and used to induce monospecific antisera in rabbits. The ability to produce each protein in the baculovirus system provides an additional means for their structural and functional characterization. 相似文献

Egg-yolk antibodies induced by immunizing hens with selected Escherichia coli antigens were evaluated for their ability to protect broiler chickens against respiratory/septicemic disease caused by avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC). Seven groups of broiler breeder hens were vaccinated three times, 1 week apart with live E. coli, killed E. coli, E. coli antigens [lipopolysaccharide (LPS), type 1 pilus adhesin (FimH), P pilus adhesin (PapG), aerobactin outer membrane receptor (IutA)] or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). An O78 APEC strain was used for preparation of all the antigens. Egg yolk immunoglobulins (IgY) were purified from eggs of each group and antibody activity in serum and purified IgY was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). IgY (100mg) was injected intramuscularly into 11-day-old broiler chickens, which were challenged 3 days later with homologous (O78) or heterologous (O1 or O2) E. coli by the intra-air sac route. Mortality was recorded and surviving chickens were euthanized 1 week after the challenge and examined for macroscopic lesions. Passive antibodies against all antigens except FimH were protective (90-100%) against the homologous challenge, but only anti-PapG and anti-IutA were effective against heterologous challenge. Anti-PapG IgY provided the greatest protection against the three serogroups of E. coli used for challenge. Hence vaccination of broiler breeders to induce anti-PapG and anti-IutA antibodies may provide passive protection of progeny chicks against respiratory/septicemic disease caused by APEC. 相似文献

Chlamydia psittaci proteins capable of binding eukaryotic cell membranes were identified and antigenically characterized. Cell membrane proteins (CMP) of noninfected cells were labeled with biotin (B-CMP), then were extracted with 1% Triton X-100. Nitrocellulose membrane strips containing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis-resolved proteins of chlamydial elementary bodies (EB) were reacted with the B-CMP extract, followed by addition of streptavidin-conjugated horse radish peroxidase. Among the various strains of chlamydiae examined, a protein of approximately 16 to 18 kDa consistently bound B-CMP. A second larger protein, ranging in molecular mass from 24 to 32 kDa, also bound B-CMP. Immunoblotting techniques were used to analyze the reactions of antisera from immunized and experimentally infected animals to these proteins. A rabbit polyclonal antiserum produced against the 18-kDa adhesin of a serovar-1 strain of C psittaci (B577) reacted strongly with 18-kDa proteins of all C psittaci strains, but weakly with that of C trachomatis. Mouse antisera raised against the serovar-2 (FC-Stra) 28-kDa protein reacted only with proteins of the homologous serovar. Sera from experimentally infected animals did not react with the C trachomatis 18-kDa adhesion protein, but did react in 2 patterns with related and nonrelated C psittaci isolates. Two rabbits inoculated with infective serovar-1 EB and 1 rabbit inoculated with a serovar-2 strain reacted specifically with the 18-kDa proteins of their homologous serovars. In contrast, 2 other rabbits inoculated with the same serovar-2 strain produced antisera that reacted with all C psittaci 18-kDa proteins, as did serum from a similarly inoculated bull.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

This assay was aimed to express the PuAH gene of Edwardsiella tarda (E.tarda) EIB202 and analyze its partial characteristics.A pair of specific primers was designed based on the PuAH gene sequence of E.tarda published in GenBank(accession No.:CP001135,CDS No.:ETAE_0818).The gene was cloned and expressed by recombinant plasmid pET32a-PuAH in E.coli BL21(DE3).The recombinant protein was purified and used to immune New Zealand rabbits to prepare antisera.Then the characteristics of expression product and antisera were analyzed by ELISA,Western blotting,hemolysis test and bacterial agglutination test.In conclusion,the expression product was fusion protein with 42 ku molecular weight,and had immunogenicity and antigenicity,but no hemolytic to erythrocytes of eel.Yet the antisera could inhibited the hemolytic of outer membrane protein of E.tarda EIB202 to some extent,and could agglutinate E.tarda EIB202. 相似文献
