概括

一种新的分子定义结核素 (MDT) 简化了牛结核病的诊断. 这种改进的MDT配方具有很高的灵敏度和特异性,可以替代较旧的结核素皮肤测试.

科学领域:

兽医免疫学
传染病诊断
动物健康

背景情况:

牛结核 (BTB) 是一种具有经济和动物传染影响的全球性重要疾病.
目前的监测依赖于使用结核素纯化蛋白衍生物 (PPD) 的皮肤测试,这些蛋白衍生物在生产,表征和性能方面存在局限性.
之前开发的分子定义结核素 (MDT) 包含八种抗原,但面临着一个组件的生产挑战.

研究的目的:

通过开发重组融合蛋白来简化分子定义的结核素 (MDT) 配方.
为牛结核监测创造一种新的,明确的,易于标准化的皮肤试剂.
推进一种可销售的BTB诊断产品的开发.

主要方法:

在8种MDT抗原中,有7种被合成为3种重组融合蛋白.
一种新型的Rv3616c抗原 (Rv3616c-S4) 被设计和制备为独立蛋白质或与Rv1789融合.
简化的MDT配方 (MDT-S4和MDT-F) 在实验性感染的牛身上进行了测试.

主要成果:

简化的MDT配方在感染的动物中显示出与PPD-B相比的信号强度.
与比较的宫结核素皮肤试验相比,MDT-F配方仅含有融合蛋白,具有较高的相对灵敏度 (96%) 和特异性 (100%).
MDT试剂的定义很好,标准化,在各种牛群中表现良好.

结论:

已经开发出一种新的,简化的MDT配方,克服了以前的局限性.
这种先进的MDT配方具有很大的潜力,可以替代传统的PPD用于牛结核病监测.
融合蛋白方法代表了获得许可和可销售的BTB诊断产品的关键进步.

Hybridoma Technology

Hybridoma Technology

Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

Proteins are involved in several cellular processes and biochemical reactions. Analyzing a specific protein of interest requires it to be isolated from the other proteins in the cell. This is achieved by overexpressing the specific gene in a suitable host to produce large quantities of the target protein. A tag or label is recombined with the gene to produce a fusion protein containing the target protein and the tag. The tags on these fusion proteins can then be used for easy detection and...
