Protective immune responses of recombinant outer membrane proteins OmpF and OmpK of Aeromonas hydrophila in European eel (Anguilla anguilla)

Outer membrane proteins (Omps) of Gram‐negative bacteria have been proven to be efficient subunit vaccines against bacteriosis. In this study, OmpF and OmpK of Aeromonas hydrophila were expressed, and their immune protective effects in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) were evaluated. The genomic DNA of A. hydrophila 322A was used as a template, and two kinds of prokaryotic expression plasmids, pET‐32a‐OmpF and pET‐32a‐OmpK, were constructed. Recombinant OmpF protein (r‐OmpF) and r‐OmpK were purified and were proven to have antigenicity by Western‐blot analysis. r‐OmpF and r‐OmpK were used as immunogens to immunize European eel by intraperitoneal injection. The mRNA expression of 6 immune‐related genes (IgM, IL‐10, IRF3, IRF7, LysG4 and HexB) in the liver tissues of eels at 1 hr, 3 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr, 24 hr, 72 hr and 10 days postimmunization was analysed by real‐time PCR. At 30 dpi, the serum antibody response was measured by ELISA. Fish were attacked at 15 dpi by live 322A to assess the protective immunity of r‐OmpF and r‐OmpK. All the six tested genes responded to r‐OmpF or r‐OmpK vaccination at varying degrees. The serum antibody titre of r‐OmpF‐ and r‐OmpK‐immunized groups was 1:1,600 and 1:3,200 respectively. In addition, r‐OmpF gave 35.5% of the relative immune protection rate to European eels, while r‐OmpK gave 70.0%. By analysing the protective immunity and the regulatory role in the immune‐related gene expression of the two recombinant proteins that were studied, it was found that r‐OmpK was a potential vaccine candidate against A. hydrophila.

为治理环境中的农药污染提供依据,从长期施用有机磷农药的土壤中筛选出特殊细菌,采用细菌学、形态学、生理生化及分子系统学进行鉴定,以特异性引物扩增分离菌株的16S rRNA基因,经克隆测序后比对其相似性.结果表明:筛选出的2株菌细菌均为革兰氏阴性菌,均可产生接触酶,有还原硝酸盐的能力,能发酵麦芽糖、并使明胶液化,可在中盐环境中生长,2株菌为嗜水气单胞菌(Aeromonas hydrophila).经克隆测序后比对,与气单胞菌属相应基因的相似性为99％,对毒死蜱的降解力为21％左右,为中等强度的降解菌.2株嗜水气单胞菌降解毒死蜱的机理可能有一定的特殊性,可作为清除环境中毒死蜱等有机磷农药的候选菌株.     

嗜水气单胞菌J-1株OmpA融合蛋白的高效表达及免疫原性分析

以嗜水气单胞菌（Aeromonas hydrophila）J-1株基因组为模板,根据GenBank已发表的嗜水气单胞菌外膜蛋白的基因序列设计1对引物,扩增去除信号肽序列的成熟外膜蛋白OmpA的基因片段,定向克隆至表达质粒pET32a（＋）中,重组质粒经限制性酶切鉴定后测序。结果表明,插入片段长度为948bp,与NCBI上登录的几个相关序列相比,同源性在93．1％-95％之间,缺失4个氨基酸。将重组原核表达质粒pET32a-OmpA转化至大肠杆菌BL21（DE3）,经诱导可表达分子量约57．4kD的蛋白,凝胶薄层扫描显示OmpA在转化菌中表达量占全菌蛋白的50％以上。用兔抗J-1株总外膜蛋白血清进行Western blot,在57．4kD处有明显反应条带。融合蛋白经Ni-NTA树脂柱亲和层析纯化后免疫新西兰兔制备抗血清,ELISA效价达1：12800以上。Western blot检测结果显示,该血清与9株具有代表性的气单胞菌的分子量约35kD的外膜蛋白均有较强反应,说明所表达的融合蛋白不仅保持原有外膜蛋白的免疫原性,而且提示OmpA可能是嗜水气单胞菌的共同保护性抗原。[中国水产科学,2008,15（2）：301—306]     

Microbial community indigenous to the earthworm Eisenia foetida

 Microbial populations of the earthworm Eisenia foetida, their casts and farmyard manure (FYM) in which E. foetida had lived were enumerated with the dilution plate method using several media. The microbial community of earthworms appeared to be similar to that of the FYM in which they had lived, while that of earthworms starved in distilled water for 24 h greatly differed from that of the FYM. The community of the starved earthworms consisted exclusively (more than 90%) of fast growers, which were defined as those that formed their colonies within 2 days, unlike that of the FYM (10–30%). About 30 isolates were randomly chosen and some physiological properties were examined. The community of starved earthworms consisted exclusively of Gram-negative, oxidase-positive, fermentative bacteria, whereas bacteria from the FYM were much more diverse and there were no fermentative bacteria in the FYM. The predominant bacteria species of the starved earthworms were identified as Aeromonas hydrophila and considered to be indigenous to the earthworm E. foetida. Received: 18 June 1999

半滑舌鳎(Cynoglossus semilaevis Günther)是广受我国消费者认可的名优鱼类,具有很高的营养价值和经济价值,然而,随着工厂化养殖模式的不断发展,疾病成为制约半滑舌鳎养殖业健康发展的关键因素,其中,体表溃疡病为其常见病症。从严重溃疡病半滑舌鳎体内分离到1株优势菌株HX0416,该菌可在TCBS培养基上生长,并可在绵羊血平板上形成清晰的β-溶血环;经过16S rRNA和rpo D基因序列同源性分析并结合生化特性鉴定为杀鲑气单胞菌(Aeromonas salmonicida)。健康半滑舌鳎幼鱼感染试验表明,该菌对半滑舌鳎具有较强致病性,感染72 h(1.04×106cfu·m L-1)对攻毒鱼的致死率达91.7%。药敏试验结果显示,该菌对环丙沙星、恩诺沙星、诺氟沙星等喹诺酮类和头孢曲松、头孢吡肟等头孢菌素类药物比较敏感,而对硫酸新霉素、土霉素等氨基糖苷类和四环素类药物多重耐药,尤其是对磺胺甲噁唑、氨苄西林等磺胺类和β-内酰胺类药物严重耐药。     

Evaluation of an experimental Aeromonas salmonicida epidemic in chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Walbaum)

To determine the dynamics of the transmission of Aeromonas salmonicida ssp. salmonicida infection, chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, were exposed to bacteria by cohabitation. The latent period (time between exposure and infectivity) was determined by exposing a group of chinook salmonid fingerlings to A. salmonicida by bath, then, at daily intervals, by holding five exposed (donor) fish with approximately 50 naive fish for 24 h. The latent period was 3 days post-infection and the time period between the initial exposure to bacteria and the beginning of bacterial shedding was 4.5 days for the same animals. The prevalence and intensity of infection in the donor fish, to which recipient fish were exposed, i.e. the level of exposure, was highly correlated with the development of disease in recipient (susceptible) chinook salmon (r2 = 0.57). An experiment was conducted to determine the daily progress of infection and development of a furunculosis epidemic among recipient fish by cohabiting a single exposed fish with 43 unexposed salmon. At daily intervals, all fish (in seven treatment tanks and one control tank daily) were sacrificed and tested for the presence of A. salmonicida in the kidney (n = 3520). Over 10 days, mean prevalence among recipient fish reached 75% and disease related mortality exceeded 50%. Bacterial concentrations in the water continued to increase over the duration of the experiment in concert with the number of infected animals present in the population.

通过对包被单抗和酶标单抗以及抗原最佳工作浓度的优化,建立草鱼肠型点状产气单胞菌双抗夹心ELISA试剂盒检测体系。用分光光度法对检测体系的特异性、稳定性和灵敏度进行测定;用脱脂奶平板法对试剂盒的临床应用进行检测。结果表明,单抗最适稀释液为pH9.4的碳酸盐缓冲液,洗涤液为含φ=0.05%Tween-20的PBS,包被单抗最适体积稀释倍数为1∶800,酶标单抗最适体积稀释倍数为1∶6 000,抗原最佳工作浓度为3×104cfu/mL。试剂盒与肠型点状产气单胞菌有特异性反应,脱脂奶平板法与试剂盒法对草鱼患病检出率基本一致,符合率达90%;试剂盒有很好的储存稳定性,检测灵敏度为7×103cfu/mL。     

鳜浸泡嗜水气单胞菌全菌疫苗后皮肤黏液抗体的变化

应用间接ELISA方法,研究经嗜水气单胞菌(Aeromonas hydrophila)疫苗浸泡免疫后鳜(Siniperca chuatsi)皮肤黏液中抗体消长规律,以揭示鳜局部黏膜免疫在免疫保护中的作用及浸泡免疫的保护效果。结果表明,鳜皮肤黏液中抗体滴度在免疫后第7天达到峰值211,抗体从开始形成到消失持续21 d;添加佐剂(IMS1312、葡聚糖、莨菪碱、食盐)可以提高鳜皮肤黏液及血清中抗体滴度和相对免疫保护率,其中添加IMS1312组免疫保护率最高,达77.8%,免疫保护与抗体滴度成正相关(R2=0.79,P<0.05);以溶菌酶为代表的非特异性免疫在免疫后1周内即抗体未形成时,对鱼体起主要保护作用。此外,通过比较鳜血清与皮肤黏液中的抗体消长规律,发现血清中抗体滴度峰值出现时间较迟(第14天),抗体持续时间较长(42 d),初步推断鳜皮肤黏膜中可能存在相对独立于全身免疫系统的局部黏膜免疫系统。
