Identification of novel tumour‐associated antigens in canine mammary gland tumour

Canine mammary gland tumour (MGT) is the most common neoplasm in female dogs and has similar biological characteristics to human MGT. Spontaneous canine MGT is a more attractive clinical model in oncological research than that of the murine experimental model. Tumour‐associated antigens (TAAs), which are produced in tumour cells, are applied as tumour markers, tumour vaccine antigens and molecular targets of therapeutic drugs. In this study, we have primarily identified 13 different TAAs of canine MGT by serological immunoscreening of cDNA expression library. The results of serological mini‐arrays of identified antigens showed that CCDC41 antigen specially reacted with 35% of sera from MGT‐dogs and did not react with control sera. We also found that HSPH1 mRNA expression levels increased significantly in MGT tissues. These findings will contribute to the development of diagnostic technologies and translational target therapies for dogs. Clinical relevance : HSPH1, which is strongly expressed in the tumour tissue, will be a possible vaccine antigen of canine MGT.     

副猪嗜血杆菌外膜蛋白P5的B细胞抗原表位鉴定

副猪嗜血杆菌外膜蛋白P5能诱导机体产生免疫保护反应,同时可以用于特异性的血清学诊断,本试验选取P5蛋白进行抗原表位鉴定。首先通过PCR扩增P5F1（1～204aa）,P5F2（170～296aa）及P5F3（280～371aa）3个片段,PCR产物分别定向克隆到表达载体pET32a（＋）中表达纯化。根据ELISA和Western blotting结果确定P5F3片段（280—371aa）是OmpP5的免疫优势决定区。为了进-步对该免疫优势决定区进行抗原表住鉴定,设计了-套11个部分重叠的短肽,这些短肽覆盖全部280～371aa片段。每-个短肽合成1对寡核苷酸链,退火后插入表达载体pGEX-6p-1,与GST进行融合表达。用HPS阳性血清进行ELISA和Western blotting扫描,鉴定出其表位位于”。TGNTCDAVKGRKALIT351。通过序列分析证实该抗原表位在不同的HPS菌株中高度保守。本试验确定了位于HPSOmpP5上的-个抗原表位,为建立-种方便、快捷、适用于现地大规模样品检测的鉴别诊断方法奠定了基础,同时也为HPS新型亚单位疫苗的研制,以及研究病原茵感染和机体免疫过程中P5蛋白与宿主体内相应分子之间的相互作用提供了有用信息。

Determination of carcinoembryonic antigen and cancer antigen (CA 15‐3) in bitches with tumours on mammary gland: preliminary report

The aim of this work was to determine levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cancer antigen (CA 15‐3) in the blood serum of 45 bitches. A modified procedure was used to determine the CEA and CA 15‐3 markers with the human kits using the radioimmunoassay method. Samples collected from extirpated tumour of mammary glands were histologically processed and classified as per WHO guidelines. The average age of animals with tumour was 10.00 ± 2.2 years; for healthy bitches average age was 4.2 ± 3.2 years. Values of CEA and CA 15‐3 were considered positive, if they exceeded 0.23 ng mL^?1 and 7 IU mL^?1, respectively. Average levels of CEA in the tumour group were 0.25 ± 0.06 versus 0.20 ± 0.03 in healthy bitches (P = 0.0001). The average CA 15‐3 value in bitches with tumour was 8.58 ± 1.27 versus 5.14 ± 1.34 in healthy animals (P < 0.0001).

Antigen-nonspecific macrophage factors modulating the antibody response in vitro

Antibody response to an antigen involves the co-operation between three types of cells: macrophages, T cells and B cells. The cognate interactions between these cells play a fundamental role in the expression of a specific antibody response, but the last is modulated by antigen-nonspecific soluble factors produced either by macrophages or by T cells. Macrophages elaborate a spectrum of molecules modulating the function of lymphoid cells; among them are IL1 and prostaglandins of the E series, which are respectively enhancer and inhibitor of the antibody response in vitro. These molecules alter T cell and B cell activities through different mechanisms involving activation or inhibition of IL2 production, or alteration of cells surface antigens. However, the cellular events following the fixation of soluble factor on its receptors are not known.
