摘要
【目的】构建原核表达载体p ET28a-r Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18、大肠埃希菌Escherichia coli表达及产物纯化与活性检测,研究高效广谱鸡基因工程重组复合抗病毒制剂,以对鸡的病毒性疾病进行防治.【方法】采用融合PCR(Fusion PCR)方法,利用具有互补末端的引物,形成具有重叠链的PCR产物,通过PCR产物重叠链的延伸将鸡α干扰素(Chicken interferon alpha,Ch IFN-α)与鸡白细胞介素18(Chicken interleukin-18,Ch IL-18)基因构建Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18融合基因并克隆入p ET-28a原核表达载体中进行原核表达.通过镍柱亲和层析法纯化可溶性蛋白,并进行SDSPAGE分析、Western-blot鉴定.采用细胞病变抑制法检测r Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18蛋白在细胞上抑制水泡性口炎病毒(VSV)及新城疫病毒(NDV)增殖活性.【结果和结论】成功构建并克隆了p ET28a-r Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18融合基因.融合基因在大肠埃希菌中表达的r Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18蛋白相对分子质量约为38 000,蛋白经纯化后纯度在90%以上.r Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18蛋白在鸡胚成纤维(CEF)细胞上具有明显抗病毒活性,其抗VSV和NDV的活性明显高于单一r Ch IFN-α、r Ch IL-18蛋白的抗病毒活性.
【Objective】This study was conducted to explore a highly efficient chicken gene engineering antiviral agent to prevent and control the chicken viral disease. A recombinant plasmid p ET28a-r Ch IFNα-IL18 was constructed,which was expressed in Escherichia coli,purified by Ni-NTA and tested for antiviral bioactivitiy. 【Method】This study introduced a novel method for constructing vectors by fusion PCR,which generated PCR products with overlapping chain using Primers complementary to the end. Through the extension of PCR products,Ch IFN-α and Ch IL-18 constituted the Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18 fusion gene when cloned into the vector p ET-28 a,induced the expression in E. coli strain BL21( DE3). This protein was purified by Ni-NTA and detected by SDS-P AGE and Western-blot. Cytopathic effects( CPE)were applied to examine the potency of recombination r Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18 against vesicular stomatitis virus( VSV) and newcastle disease virus( NDV) proliferation. 【Result and conclusion】The fusion gene of Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18 was successfully constructed and cloned into p ET-28 a vector. The r Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18 protein was expressed in E. coli and successfully purified with a molecular mass of about 38 000 and more than 90% on SDS-PAGE,which indicated that the correct r Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18 fusion protein had been obtained. The antiviral activity units of r Ch IFN-α-Ch IL-18 protein inhibiting the reproduction of VSV and NDV on chicken embryo fibroblast( CEF) cells were much higher than those of the recombinant r Ch IFN-α,r Ch IL-18 protein.
