目的 原核表达、纯化户尘螨(Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus)主要变应原Der p2的T细胞表位融合肽。 方法 将已报道的户尘螨Der p2中编码4个T细胞表位(T1-T4)的核苷酸序列以T1-T2-T3-T4的方式连接,人工合成为嵌合基因,命名为Der p2 T。PCR扩增目的基因Der p2 T,将纯化的扩增片段克隆至pET-28a(+)载体,构建原核重组表达质粒pET-28a(+)-Der p2 T,并进行双酶切验证。大量诱导表达含pET-28a(+)-Der p2 T的E. coli BL-21菌株,异丙基-β-D-硫代半乳糖苷(IPTG)诱导表达,经Ni-NTA亲和层析获得纯化重组蛋白,并进行十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)和蛋白质印迹(Western blotting)分析。ELISA法检测重组Der p2 T细胞表位融合肽对户尘螨过敏患者血清IgE抗体的结合能力。 结果 双酶切结果表明,构建了原核重组表达质粒pET-28a(+)-Der p2 T。SDS-PAGE分析结果显示,获得相对分子质量(Mr)为10 000的重组Der p2 T细胞表位融合肽。Western blotting分析结果显示,纯化了Der p2的T细胞表位融合肽。Der p2 T细胞表位融合肽对粉尘螨哮喘患者的血清IgE结合能力[(37.70±9.89)μg/ml]较Der p2显著降低[(85.89±9.63)μg/ml](P<0.01)。 结论 制备Der p2 T细胞表位融合肽。与Der p2相比,重组Der p2 T细胞表位融合肽对户尘螨过敏患者血清IgE抗体的结合能力明显降低。
Objective To express and purify the T cell epitope fusion peptide of the major allergen Der p2 from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. Methods Nucleotide sequences reported to encode four T-cell epitopes(T1-T4) of Der p2 of D. pteronyssinus were linked in the rank of T1-T2-T3-T4. In this way, the chimeric gene was synthesized, named as Der p2 T. The gene of Der p2 T was amplified by PCR, purified, and cloned into the pET-28a(+) vector, forming the prokaryotic recombinant expression vector pET-28a(+)-Der p2 T. This formation was verified by double digestion. The pET-28a(+) -Der p2 T vector was transfected into E. coli strain BL-21, and its expression was induced by addition of IPTG. The recombinant protein was purified and collected by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, and prepared for SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis. ELISA was used to evaluate the binding ability of Der p2 T cell epitope fusion peptide to serum IgE from patients with house dust mite allergy. Results Double digestion results confirmed the construction of the pET-28a(+)-Der p2 T vector. SDS-PAGE revealed the expression of recombinant Der p2 T cell epitope fusion peptide with Mr of 10 000. Western blotting confirmed the purification of Der p2 T cell epitope fusion peptide. The binding ability of Der p2 T cell epitope fusion peptide to serum IgE from patients with house dust mite allergy [(37.70±9.89) μg/ml] decreased significantly in comparison to that of Der p2 [(85.89±9.63) μg/ml](P〈0.01). Conclusion The Der p2 T cell epitope fusion peptide is prepared, and its binding ability to serum IgE from patients with house dust mite allergy significantly decreases than that of Der p2.
