大肠杆菌表达的融合蛋白K88ac-STⅡ的免疫效果

产肠毒素大肠杆菌（enterotoxigenic escherichiacoli，ETEC）是引起幼畜腹泻的病原菌，感染病畜发病快，死亡率高。研究表明，病原菌ETEC的致病过程包括菌毛粘附因子对小肠上皮细胞的粘附和致腹泻毒素的产生，其中，菌毛粘附是其致病的始动因素，毒素是其致病的直接原因。所以，研制针对菌毛和毒素的多价疫苗理论上可以有效地预防幼畜腹泻。据调查，     

产肠毒素大肠杆菌疫苗在断奶仔猪中的应用

产肠毒素大肠杆菌(ETEC)是引起新生仔猪和断奶仔猪腹泻的主要病原之一。通过免疫母猪,新生仔猪通常可以从初乳和乳汁得到有效保护,但在断奶阶段,母乳的保护消失。有关研究发现,引起断奶仔猪腹泻常见的ETEC菌株均有菌毛F4或F18。这些菌毛是重要的毒力因子,它们使细菌结合到宿主易感肠上皮细胞,在肠内定植繁殖,随后分泌肠毒素引起腹泻。文章针对由菌毛F4和/或F18产毒素大肠杆菌引起的腹泻,概括了在养猪生产中其相关免疫接种途径,包括口服弱毒苗和亚单位疫苗、胶囊疫苗和注射免疫接种等。     

国内外猪源产肠毒素大肠杆菌疫苗研究进展

仔猪腹泻是全球规模化猪场最常见的疾病之一,给养猪业带来了巨大的损失。产肠毒素大肠杆菌（ETEC）是引起仔猪腹泻的主要病原菌,黏附素和肠毒素是其重要的致病因子,ETEC通过黏附素定植于小肠上皮细胞,在增殖过程中不断产生肠毒素,引起大量水和电解质进入肠腔,导致仔猪腹泻。目前,疫苗免疫是预防ETEC最有效的方法,然而许多商品化大肠杆菌疫苗的临床免疫效果不佳,且地域局限性明显。因此,研制安全、高效、广谱的ETEC疫苗对养猪业具有重要意义。近年来,许多新型试验性ETEC疫苗被相继报道,如ETEC菌毛黏附素和肠毒素疫苗;一些新开发的疫苗,如亚单位疫苗、菌影疫苗、植物载体疫苗和囊泡疫苗等,具有不同的优势,在不同的动物试验中均表现出良好的免疫保护效果。文章简述了国内外学者在ETEC疫苗领域的研究进展,对猪源ETEC各类疫苗的优劣及应用研究情况进行了综述,以期为今后猪源ETEC疫苗的研究提供参考。

猪源大肠杆菌fedA基因的克隆及鉴定

断奶仔猪腹泻（post—weaning diarrhea，PWD）和猪水肿病（porcine edema disease，ED）是导致仔猪死亡的重要传染性疾病。PWD和ED分别由肠毒素大肠杆菌（enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli，ETEC）和志贺氏毒素大肠杆菌（verotoxigenic Escherichia coli，VTEC）引起。ETEC和VTEC等病原菌除了产生毒素外，还同时具有菌毛粘附因子。F18菌毛是病原菌主要的粘附因子，介导细菌对小肠黏膜上皮细胞表面受体的粘附，在PWD和ED的发生中起着决定性的作用，是引起疾病的主要毒力因子之一。

犊牛抗肠毒性大肠杆菌病的被动保护

肠毒性大肠杆菌是引起新生犊牛发生腹泻的几种病原菌之一。虽然大肠杆菌是幼犊肠道的正常菌群,但肠毒性大肠杆菌是一类特殊的亚群,具有一定的毒性并能引起腹泻,最重要的特性是能大量聚集于小肠和具有产生肠毒素的能力。大肠杆菌通过附着于粘膜表面而聚集于小肠的现象,是由K_(99)抗原的菌毛附着因子所引起。     

产肠毒素大肠杆菌感染的分子致病机制

Protection against enteric colibacillosis in pigs suckling orally vaccinated dams: evidence for pili as protective antigens

Pregnant gilts were vaccinated orally with Escherichia coli that produced pilus antigens K99 or 987P. The vaccines were live or dead enterotoxigenic E coli (ETEC) or a liver rough non-ETEC strain which has little ability to colonize pig intestine. Pigs born to the gilts were challenge exposed orally with K99+ or 987P+ ETEC, which did not produce heat-labile enterotoxin or flagella and which produced somatic and capsular antigens different from those of the vaccine strains. Control gilts had low titers of serum and colostral antibodies against pilus antigens, and their suckling pigs frequently had fatal diarrhea after challenge exposure. Serum antibody titers against pilus antigens of the vaccine strains increased in the gilts after vaccination with liver ETEC, and the colostral antibody titers of these gilts were higher than those of controls. Pigs suckling such vaccinated gilts were more resistant than controls to challenge strains were of different pilus types, and it could not be attributed to enterotoxin neutralization by colostrum. In contrast to the live ETEC vaccines given to the pregnant gilts, the liver rough non-ETEC and dead ETEC vaccines stimulated little or no production of antibody against pilu, and the pigs born of these vaccinated gilts remained highly susceptible to challenge exposure. The results support the hypothesis that pilu can be protective antigens in oral ETEC vaccines. It was indicated that in the system reported, protection depended on living bacteria for the production of pilus antigens in vivo or for the transport of pilus antigens across intestinal epithelium.     

Passive protection of mice pups through oral or intranasal immunization of dams with recombinant Lactobacillus casei vaccine against ETEC F41

Mucosal immunization is advantageous over other routes of antigen delivery because it can induce both mucosal and systemic immune responses. In this study, we have developed fimbriae protein of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) F41 was stably expressed on the surface Lactobacillus casei 525. The method of expressing vaccine antigens in L. casei induces both systemic and mucosal immunity after oral or intranasal administration. We demonstrate that an oral or intranasal vaccine based on live recombinant L. casei 525 protects infant mice from ETEC F41 infection. This platform technology can be applied to design oral or intranasal vaccine delivery vehicles against several microbial pathogens.     

Chromosomal integration and expression of the Escherichia coli K88 gene cluster in Salmonella enterica ser. Choleraesuis strain 54 (SC54)

Attempts to develop live vaccines to protect against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection by induction of both cell-mediated and mucosal immunity, and serum antibody responses have included use of recombinant Salmonella strains that produce K88 fimbrial antigens (Hone et al., 1988; Attridge et al., 1988; Morona et al., 1994). However, none of the recombinant Salmonella vectors has been licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for use as a live vaccine in pigs in the United States. A variant of Salmonella enterica ser. Choleraesuis strain 54 (SC54) is currently used as a safe and effective intranasal attenuated live vaccine in pigs. In order to expand the efficacy of this live vaccine strain, we sought to modify strain SC54 to express the K88 antigens of ETEC. To accomplish this, a plasmid-based system was used to integrate the K88 gene cluster into the chromosome of strain SC54 by site-specific recombination. The K88 antigens were expressed by strain SC54, and the gene cluster was stably maintained in the host.     

猪口服免疫F18ac~+非产肠毒素大肠杆菌疫苗候选株后小肠免疫细胞的组织形态学特征

由F4+和(或)F18+产肠毒素大肠杆菌(ETEC)引起的腹泻和肠毒血症是乳猪及断奶仔猪的多发病。本文通过对断奶仔猪小肠淋巴样细胞亚群表型进行定量分析,检测和评估了F18ac+非ETEC弱毒疫苗候选株对F4ac+ETEC感染的免疫原性及保护效力;同时还评估了左旋咪唑作为一种免疫应答调节剂(IRM)的调节效能及其与试验疫苗联用的佐剂活性。     

Protection of neonatal calves against fatal enteric colibacillosis by administration of egg yolk powder from hens immunized with K99-piliated enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.

The protective effects of egg yolk powder prepared from hens vaccinated with heat-extracted antigens from K99-piliated enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strain 431 were evaluated in a colostrum-fed calf model of ETEC-induced diarrhea caused by a heterologous strain (B44). The antibody powder was obtained by spray-drying the water-soluble protein fraction of egg yolks after removing the lipid and fatty components by precipitation with hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate. A total of 16 colostrum-fed calves were studied to determine whether the orally administered antibody powder would prevent fatal bovine colibacillosis caused by a virulent ETEC strain. Clinical response of individual calves was monitored and evaluated in the context of these variables: fecal consistency score, intestinal colonization, weight loss, and mortality. Control calves that were treated with vehicle (milk with egg yolk powder from nonimmunized hens) had severe diarrhea and dehydration and died within 72 hours after infection was manifested. In contrast, calves fed milk containing egg yolk powder with antipili agglutinin titers of 1:800 and 1:1,600 had transient diarrhea, 100% survival, and good body weight gain during the course of the study. Results indicate that the orally administered egg yolk powder protected against ETEC-induced diarrhea in neonatal calves and that the protective components may have been the antibodies raised by vaccination of chickens against ETEC.     

Prevalence of fimbial colonization factors F18ab and F18ac in Escherichia coli isolates from weaned piglets with edema and/or diarrhea in China

F18ab and F18ac are important fimbrial colonization factors of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) and/or enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) in weaned piglets with edema disease and/or diarrhea. To further investigate their prevalence and correlation to pathogenic E. coli, a duplex PCR, using three primers derived from the nucleotide sequence of the F18 major fimbrial subunit gene (fedA), and a direct agglutination test, using a monoclonal antibody specific for the antigenic factor 'a' of F18, were performed. Among 60VTEC, 24VTEC/ETEC and 24 ETEC isolates tested from weaned piglets with edema disease and/or diarrhea in different pig farms in the Jiangsu Province of China, 52 isolates (48.15%) were positive in the direct agglutination test and 63 isolates (58.33%) were positive in the duplex PCR. Among 63 PCR-positive isolates, 53 isolates (49.07%) were F18ab-positive and 10 isolates (9.26%) were F18ac-positive. In addition, the F18ab gene was more frequently detected in VTEC (61.67%) or VTEC/ETEC (62.50%) than in ETEC (4.17% only), while the F18ac gene was more frequently detected in VTEC/ETEC (33.33%) than in ETEC (8.33%) or VTEC (0%). Furthermore, F18ab was more frequently associated with Shiga toxin 2e (Stx2e), whereas F18ac was more frequently associated with enterotoxin ST I. These results suggest that the duplex PCR performed in this experiment is a more reliable method for identification of F18+E. coli, and that F18 is a more important virulence factor of VTEC and VTEC/ETEC.     

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, using monoclonal antibody, to detect enterotoxic Escherichia coli K99 antigen in feces of dairy calves

A modified, double-antibody, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to detect the K99 pilus antigen of enterotoxic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in feces of calves. Extremely high positive to negative ratios (greater than 200) were obtained by using monoclonal antisera as the primary antibody. Strong positive reactions were obtained with strains of E coli known to produce the K99 antigen; however, non-enteropathogenic E coli (strains not producing the K99 antigen), Salmonella, Proteus, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and rotavirus produced negative results. Seventy-five fecal samples, 8 from healthy calves and 67 from calves with neonatal calf diarrhea were examined with the K99 ELISA for the presence of ETEC. Rotavirus test and fecal culture results were available on feces from calves with diarrhea and were used with the K99 ELISA results to determine the specific cause of the disease. Enterotoxic E coli was the predominant agent detected in the feces of 29 diarrheal calves less than 5 days of age. Mixed infections of rotavirus and ETEC were also common in these calves, but rotavirus infections alone were not detected. In 38 calves greater than or equal to 5 days, rotavirus was detected without ETEC. Of these calves, only 2 produced positive tests with the K99 ELISA. Salmonella sp and Proteus sp were detected from 5 of 67 calves with diarrhea.     

SLA-DQA基因在F18大肠杆菌抗性和敏感性断奶仔猪间的差异表达分析

运用荧光定量PCR方法分析SLA-DQA基因在苏太猪F18大肠杆菌病抗性和敏感性资源群体中各个组织的分布和表达水平,以及在抗性组和敏感组中的表达差异,以探讨SLA-DQA基因在断奶仔猪抗大肠杆菌F18菌株感染中发挥的作用。试验结果显示,SLA-DQA基因在所检测的11个组织中均有表达,并呈现相似的表达规律,在肺、脾和淋巴结中的表达量较高,在空肠、十二指肠和胸腺中也有中度的表达。SLA-DQA基因在抗性组个体各个组织中的表达量普遍高于敏感性个体,而且在肺、脾、淋巴结、空肠和十二指肠5个组织中,SLA-DQA基因在抗性组个体中的表达量显著高于敏感性个体(P<0.05)。由此可见,当断奶仔猪受到大肠杆菌毒素侵扰后,SLA-DQA基因较高的表达量有利于SLA-II类抗原分子的合成,SLA-DQA基因虽然不是针对由大肠杆菌F18菌株造成的断奶仔猪腹泻和水肿病的直接免疫因子,但是在断奶仔猪受大肠杆菌F18菌株病原菌侵袭后引起的一系列生理变化和应答过程中发挥着重要的作用。
