AbstractIn this paper, ACE2 gene of pigs was cloned and the purified protein was obtained via the prokaryotic expression system. Polyclonal antibody of high titer and sensitivity was obtained using Wastar rats immunization method and is then used to determine of the expression of ACE2 using immunohistochemistry. The sequence of ACE2 in pigs covered 2418 nucleotides and coded 805 amino acid (aa) residues. Sequence homology analysis showed that the ACE2 sequence in pigs is highly conserved among species at the nucleotide and amino acid levels. Genetic evolution analysis revealed that ACE2 gene in pigs has the shortest genetic distance with that in goats while residing in a totally different branch from that in zebra fishes. Analysis of protein structure predicted that ACE2 protein is a transmembrane secreted protein with high hydrophilicity, containing a signal peptide sequences locating between 1aa to 17aa. The ACE2 fusion protein expressed (under the induction with 1.0 mmol/L IPTG for 10 h) was of approximately 100 kDa and mainly existed in inclusion body. Wastar rats immunization showed that the titer of the anti-ACE2 antiserum in rats was 1: 3200. Western blot showed that the antibody binds specifically. Immunohistochemistry showed that the ACE2 protein was expressed in all major tissues of pigs. It is the first time that polyclonal antibody of ACE2 in pigs was obtained and the expression of ACE2 was confirmed. These results will provide a basis for investigating on ACE2’s biological activity in pigs.

To study prokaryotic expression and subcellular localization of α-13 giardin in Giardia lamblia trophozoites, α-13 giardin gene was amplified and cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a(+). The positive recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) for expression by using IPTG and autoinduction expression system (ZYM-5052). The target protein was validated by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting and purified by Ni-NTA Resin. Rabbits were immunized with purified fusion proteins for preparation of polyclonal antibody; then the intracellular location of α-13 giardin was determined by fluorescence immunoassay. The results showed that the length of α-13 giardin gene was 1038 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 345 amino acids. The expressed product was a fusion protein with about 40 kDa largely present in soluble form. The target protein accounted for 21.0% of total proteins after being induced with IPTG, while it accounted for 28.8% with ZYM-5052. The anti-α13-giardin polyclonal antibody possessed good antigenic specificity as well as excellent binding activity with recombinant α-13 giardin. Immunofluorescence assays revealed that α-13 giardin was localized in the cytoplasm of G. lamblia trophozoite, suggesting that it is a cytoplasm-associated protein. The present study may lay a foundation for further functional research on α-13 giardin of G. lamblia.

The use of tick vaccine in controlling ticks and tick borne diseases has been proved effective in integrated tick management format. For the control ofH. a. anatolicum, Bm86 ortholog ofH. a. anatolicumwas cloned and expressed as fusion protein inE. coliasE. coli-pETHaa86. The molecular weight of the rHaa86 was 97 kDa with a 19 kDa fusion tag of thioredoxin protein. The expressed protein was characterized immunologically and vaccine efficacy was evaluated. After 120 hours of challenge, only 26% tick could successfully fed on immunized animals. Besides significant reduction in feeding percentages, a significant reduction of 49.6 mg;P<.01in the weight of fed females in comparison to the females fed on control animals was recorded. Following oviposition, a significant reduction of 68.1 mg;P<.05in the egg masses of ticks fed on immunized animals in comparison to the ticks fed on control animals was noted. The reduction of number of females, mean weight of eggs, adult females and efficacy of immunogen were 73.8%, 31.3%, 15.8%, and 82.3%, respectively. The results indicated the possibility of development of rHaa86 based vaccine as a component of integrated control of tick species.

Introduction: Neisseria meningitidis is a major causative agent of bacterial septicemia and meningitis in humans. Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent disease caused by strains of N. meningitidis serogroup B. PorA is a major component of the outer membrane of N. meningitidis and functions as a cationic porin. This study aimed to clone and determine the expression of PorA. Methodology: A 1200 bp fragment of porA gene was amplified by PCR from serogroup B N. meningitidis and then cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a. For expression of recombinant protein, pET32a-porA plasmid was transformed into competent Origami B (DE3) cells. Recombinant protein was overexpressed with isopropythio-beta-D-galctoside (IPTG) and affinity purified by Ni-NTA agarose. SDS-PAGE and western blotting were performed for protein determination and verification. Results: Cloning of porA was confirmed by colony-PCR and enzymatic digestion. In comparison with the corresponding sequences of original genes, the nucleotide sequence homology of the cloned porA gene was 97%. IPTG with a dosage of 1.0 mmol/L could efficiently induce protein expression. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that our constructed prokaryotic expression system pET32a-PorA-Origami efficiently produces a target recombinant protein with a molecular weight of 65 kDa. The recombinant PorA was overexpressed as inclusion bodies and reacted with the serum from a rabbit previously immunized with native outer membrane vesicle. Conclusion: This prokaryotic expression system provides an easy method for producing recombinant PorA and may also be useful for the production of other bacterial outer membrane proteins for vaccine studies.
