双向电泳结合蛋白质印迹技术分析猪囊尾蚴乳酸脱氢酶

为了研究猪囊尾蚴乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)的表达,试验选择四川省雅江县呷拉乡猪带绦虫病患者,给其口服槟榔-南瓜子驱虫,收集、制备虫卵悬液(8万个/mL),再给3头20日龄三元杂交乳猪猪灌胃虫卵悬液,每头1 mL,40 d后收集、制备猪囊尾蚴蛋白,进行双向电泳(2-DE)分析,将凝胶蛋白斑点转移至聚偏氟乙烯膜(PVDF膜),用自制的大鼠抗猪带绦虫LDH血清作为一抗、健康大鼠血清作为阴性对照进行蛋白质印迹(Western-blotting)分析。结果表明:双向电泳凝胶共检测到(207±9)个蛋白质斑点,相对分子质量(Mr)为14 400～94 000,等电点(pI)为3.0～10.0;试验组特异性抗原抗体阳性杂交斑点为1个,阴性对照未见阳性杂交斑点;将Western-blotting检测的抗原抗体阳性杂交斑点与原双向电泳凝胶斑点进行比对,找到对应蛋白斑点,经ImageMaster 2D Platinum 5.0软件分析后初步确定该蛋白斑点的pI/Mr为7.03/35 368,与猪带绦虫LDH的pI/Mr理论推导值接近,说明猪囊尾蚴表达LDH。     

催产素和加压素在犬泡状绦虫的免疫组化定位和分布

应用免疫组化ＡＢＣ法研究了催产素和加压素在犬泡状绦虫的定位和分布。在犬泡状绦虫中枢神经系统的脑神经节、２条主要纵神经索和环神经内观察到大量阳性纤维和少量阳性细胞。周围神经系统可见阳性神经纤维在皮层和实质形成神经网。从纵神经索和环神经发出的阳性纤维向生殖器官和皮层的肌肉分布。顶突的小钩之间的肌肉存在阳性反应物，小钩周围有较明显的阳性反应环。生殖器官呈现着色深浅不同的阳性反应，以卵囊—梅氏腺复合体最为明显。结果表明，催产素和加压素的免疫反应物具有相同的分布，它们可能参与虫体的神经内分泌调节。

本文以猪带绦虫成熟虫卵、孵化激活的六钩蚴以及人工感染的囊尾蚴为原始材料，采用Promega试剂盒法分别分离提取总RNA和mRNA，反转录合成cDNA，并用a-^32P CTP掺入法放射测定其含量。实验表明：合成的猪带绦虫虫卵、六钩蚴和囊尾蚴的cDNA含量高，均可达2500ng，片段大小在300bp以上，可满足构建不同发育阶段cDNA基因文库的需要。

Risk factors for the prevalence of porcine cysticercosis in Mbulu District, Tanzania

To estimate prevalence of and risk factors for the prevalence of porcine cysticercosis in Mbulu District, Tanzania, 770 live pigs were examined by lingual examination in 21 villages. Structured observations and questionnaire interviews were used to assess pig rearing practices and household use of latrines. Associations between factors were analyzed using a Bayesian hierarchical model to obtain prevalence odds ratio (OR) and 95% Bayesian Credible Intervals (95% BCI). Prevalence was 17.4% (village-specific range 3.2–46.7%). Prevalence of porcine cysticercosis was considerably higher in pigs reared in households lacking latrines than in those reared in households that were using latrines (OR=2.04; 95% BCI=1.25, 3.45). About 96% of the pigs were kept under free-range conditions. This study suggests the need for further studies in order to design and implement effective prevention and control measures for porcine cysticercosis in Mbulu District, Tanzania.     

Control of the taeniosis/cysticercosis complex: future developments

Cysticercosis is due to the establishment of the larval stage of the zoonotic cestode parasite Taenia solium. The infection causes substantial human morbidity and mortality, particularly in several Latin American countries and parts of Africa and Asia, as well as economic losses in pig husban dry due to condemnation of infected pork meat. The life cycle of T. solium includes human beings as definitive hosts and pigs as intermediate hosts. Cysticercosis is acquired by the ingestion of eggs released by human tapeworm carriers, who become infected after ingesting pork meat contaminated with cysticerci. Taenia solium transmission has been associated with poverty, lack of sanitary services and practices of rearing backyard pigs with free access to the areas that villagers use as toilets, as well as cultural behaviour. Nonetheless, due to the recent increase of migration and tourism, industrial countries are also reporting cases of human cysticercosis. There are many epidemiological studies that have been conducted mainly in Latin American countries that have evaluated intervention measures for control of cysticercosis including the development and testing of vaccines. Furthermore, the involvement of international agencies and institutions, such as the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the International Livestock Research Institute, as well as the commitment of policymakers, scientists and field workers, are key means for the sustainable control and, hopefully, eradication of T. solium infections.     

猪带绦虫45W-4BX和TSOL18的高效表达及免疫效果研究

RT-PCR扩增45W-4B和TSOL18基因,PCR截去45W-4B基因的N端信号肽和C端疏水氨基酸序列形成45W-4BX。将45W-4BX和TSOL18 PCR产物分别亚克隆人pGEX-4T-1,用IPTG诱导表达,取产物进行SDS-PAGE和Western blot分析。纯化表达产物制成油佐剂疫苗分别免疫家猪,用25000枚猪带绦虫成熟虫卵进行攻击感染,ELISA检测各组的抗体水平,90d后剖检计算各组的减虫率。结果表明,45W-4BX和TSOL18基因在大肠杆菌中分别以可溶性和包涵体形式获得高效表达,并能被囊虫病人血清所识别。重组蛋白免疫猪15d血清抗体即为阳性,30d左右达到峰值。2种重组抗原的减虫率均在88％以上,与囊虫粗抗原免疫效果相当。这为进一步研制基于45W-4BX和TSOL18的猪囊虫重组基因工程疫苗奠定了基础。
