目的研究化学修饰剂聚乙二醇(PEG)对德国小蠊(蟑螂)重组变应原rBlag2变应原性的影响。方法rBlag2在大肠肝菌中表达后,采用Ni^+亲和层析纯化,然后甲氧基聚乙二醇2.N-羟基琥珀酰亚胺酯(mPEG2-NHS,Mr为10×10^3)修饰,经阳离子交换层析纯化,用SDS.PAGE、免疫印迹及ELISA分析其生物学特性。结果rBlag2纯化后的相对分子质量(肘,)约39×10^3;SDS-PAGE分析PEG-rBlag2修饰产物,考马斯亮蓝染色可呈现5条带,而I2-KI染色则呈现7条带。对修饰产物的纯化表明阳离子交换层析可分离rBlag2和PEG-rBlag2;对修饰产物的免疫印迹分析显示恤为100×10^3和130×10^3的修饰带可与蟑螂过敏患者血清特异性IgE结合,同时ELISA分析结果表明PEG-rBlag2复合物的体外免疫学反应性显著下降,仅为原来的42%。结论PEG修饰可保持rBlag2与特异性抗体结合能力,却大大降低变应原的体外免疫学反应性,为重组低致敏原的研究提供了基础资料。
Objective To research the effect of PEGylation on rBla g 2 from Blattella germanica. Methods rBla g 2 allergen expressed in E. coli was purified by Ni^+ affinity chromatography, then was PEGylated by mPEG2-NHS(Mr,10 ×10^3). The PEG-rBla g 2 was purified by CM-Sepharose, a cation exchange chromatography. SDS-PAGE, Western blot and ELISA were used to characterize its biological activity. Results The relative molecular mass of the purified rBla g 2 was about 39 ×10^3. PEG-rBla g 2 was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Five bands were visualized by staining with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250, while seven bands by staining with I2-KI. Cation exchange chromatography could separate rBla g 2 and PEG-rBla g 2. The 100 ×10^3(Mr) and 130 ×10^3(Mr) of PEG-rBla g 2 could combined with the special IgE from sera of one cockroach-allergic patient by Western blot. The immunological activities of PEG-rBla g 2 in vitro decreased remarkably by ELISA, which was only 42% of rBla g 2. Conclusion PEGylated allergen can retain the ability of combining with special IgE from sera, while its immunological activities reduce enormously, which establishes the basic work of researching recombinant low-sensitive allergens.
