猪肺炎支原体黏附因子基因R1R2区的克隆及表达

根据GenBank登录的猪肺炎支原体232株P97基因和J株黏附因子基因设计了1对引物，以我国猪肺炎支原体Z株(强毒株)基因组DNA为模板，通过PCR方法扩增了该株黏附因子基因的部分序列。经序列分析后，重新设计了1对带有EcoRI和HindⅢ酶切位点的引物，并经引物的定点突变，PCR扩增了Z株黏附因子的R1R2区。扩增产物经双酶切后克隆到表达载体pET-32(a) 中。该重组质粒经酶切鉴定后，将其具有正确阅读框架的重组质粒转化到大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)感受态细胞，37℃下经IPTG诱导表达，得到相对分子质量约29000的融合蛋白，表达量约为11％。     

Immunogenic properties of Landrace pigs selected for resistance to mycoplasma pneumonia of swine

Mycoplasma pneumonia of swine (MPS) lung lesions and immunogenic properties were compared between a Landrace line that was genetically selected for reduced incidence of pulmonary MPS lesions, and a non‐selected Landrace line. The MPS‐selected Landrace line showed significantly lower degrees of pulmonary MPS lesions compared with the non‐selected Landrace line. When changes in immunity before and after vaccination were compared, the percentage of B cells in the peripheral blood of the MPS‐selected Landrace line was significantly lower than that of the non‐selected line. Furthermore, the concentration of growth hormone and the mitogen activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the MPS‐selected Landrace line showed significantly (P < 0.05) lower increases after vaccination than the non‐selected line. Conversely, the concentration of peripheral blood interferon (IFN)‐γ and salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) after Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccination was significantly higher in the MPS‐selected Landrace line than in the non‐selected line. Gene expression of toll‐like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4 was significantly higher in the MPS‐selected Landrace line in immune tissues, with the exception of the hilar lymph nodes. The present results suggest that peripheral blood IFN‐γ, salivary IgA TLR2, and TLR4 are important immunological factors influencing the development of MPS lesions.     

Mycoplasma pneumonia of swine (MPS) resistance and immune characteristics of pig lines generated by crossing an MPS pulmonary lesion selected Landrace line and a highly immune capacity selected Large White line

To understand the influence of crossbreeding on Mycoplasma pneumonia of swine (MPS) resistance and immune characteristics, two crossbred lines were characterized. One crossbred line, LaWa, was generated by crossing the MPS pulmonary lesion selected Landrace line (La) and the highly immune‐selected Large White line (Wa). The second crossbred line, LaWb, was generated by crossing the La line and the nonselected Large White line (Wb). The crossbred LbWb line (nonselected Landrace line × nonselected Large White line) and the La line were used as controls. The LaWa and LaWb lines had an intermediate level of MPS lung lesions between La and LbWb lines, although the difference was not statistically significant. After stimulation with sheep red blood cells (SRBCs), the LaWb and LaWa lines showed immune characteristics similar to that of the La line; the number of monocytes in peripheral blood increased, while B cells, T cells, secretion of SRBC‐specific immunoglobulin G, and interleukin (IL)‐13 decreased. Additionally, the number of natural killer (NK) cells and the expression of IL‐4 and IL‐17 were significantly higher in the LaWb and LaWa lines, respectively. These data suggested that crossbreeding of La and Wa lines resulted in the inheritance of some of the selected immune responses.

把猪肺炎支原体(Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae)国际标准株232的P46基因克隆进pGEM-T-EASY载体上,通过PCR方法把该基因中三个编码Trp的密码子TGA突变为TGG,然后将该基因亚克隆到载体pMAL-P2X上,得到重组表达载体pMAL-P2X-P46.用该重组载体转化大肠杆菌TB1,得到表达重组菌TB1-pMAL-P2XA-P46,用终浓度为0.3 mM的IPTG在37℃下诱导表达,获得可溶性表达的融合蛋白MBP-P46,在免疫印迹试验中,兔抗MBP高免血清和兔抗猪肺炎支原体高免血清都能与目的蛋白发生阳性反应,证明猪肺炎支原体P46基因在大肠杆菌里获得了可溶性表达.该融合蛋白对于建立特异性和敏感性好的EIISSA方法具有重要意义.
