鸭瘟病毒胸苷激酶基因的原核表达及其蛋白间接ELISA检测方法的建立

本研究旨在以表达纯化的鸭瘟病毒胸苷激酶(thymidine kinase,TK)重组蛋白作为包被抗原,建立检测鸭瘟病毒抗体的间接ELISA方法。根据GenBank上收录的鸭瘟病毒TK基因序列设计出1对引物,采用PCR扩增出鸭瘟病毒TK基因。将TK基因与原核表达载体pET-32a连接,通过PCR、双酶切和测序鉴定,将阳性重组质粒转化至大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)工程菌,IPTG诱导表达。采用切胶纯化的方法纯化蛋白,Western blotting分析鉴定表达产物。用纯化的TK重组蛋白作为包被抗原,并优化其他条件,最终建立检测鸭瘟病毒抗体的间接ELISA方法。结果显示,重组质粒构建成功,经Western blotting检测得到目的蛋白,TK重组蛋白能被阳性血清识别,说明该重组蛋白具有较好的抗原性。确定了最佳反应条件:酶标二抗的最佳稀释度为1:200,最佳抗原、抗体的稀释度分别为1:400和1:200,抗原抗体作用时间为60 min,最佳封闭液为5% BSA,最佳封闭时间为60 min,最佳显色时间为10 min。结果表明,该方法具有良好的稳定性及较高的敏感性,为鸭瘟的检疫、监测和防制工作提供了一种有效的手段。

Prokaryotic Expression of Thymidine Kinase Gene of Duck Plague Virus and Establishment of an Indirect ELISA Based on the Protein

In the study,an indirect ELISA was developed using the purified thymidine kinase (TK) protein as antigens to detect the antibody of duck plague virus (DPV).The TK gene of DPV was amplified by PCR using specific primers designed according to the sequence of TK gene in GenBank.Using gene recombination technology,the TK gene was cloned and inserted into prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a and the recombinant plasmid was identified by PCR,double enzyme digestion and sequence analysis.The positive recombinant plasmid was then transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) and induced by IPTG.The expressed protein was purified by gel extraction and analyzed by Western blotting.Then an indirect ELISA was established to detect DPV antibody by using the purified recombinant TK as the coating antigen.The other assay conditions were also optimized.The recombinant plasmid was constructed successfully and Western blotting detected the target protein,TK recombinant protein could be recognized by positive serum,and the result indicated that the recombinant protein had good antigenicity.The optimum reaction conditions were as follow:The optimal dilution of enzyme labelled antibody was 1:200,the optimal dilutions of antigen and antibody were 1:400 and 1:200,reaction time was 60 min,most prefer blocking solution was 5% BSA,closed for 60 min,chromogenic time was 10 min.The method had good stability and high sensitivity,and it could provide a reliable method for the clinical detection,immunization surveillance,and prevention and cure of DP.
