Cloning, nucleotide sequence, and expression of the Brucella melitensis bp26 gene coding for a protein immunogenic in infected sheep.
We have previously identified a Brucella melitensis 28 kDa cytosoluble protein (CP28) which was highly immunogenic in infected sheep and which in addition made possible the serological differentiation between infected and B. melitensis Rev. 1 vaccinated sheep. Monoclonal antibodies against CP28 were used to screen a B. melitensis 16M genomic library and to clone the corresponding gene. DNA sequ...
متن کاملCloning, nucleotide sequence, and expression of the Brucella melitensis sucB gene coding for an immunogenic dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase homologous protein.
The Brucella melitensis sucB gene encoding the dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase (E2o) enzyme (previously identified as an immunogenic protein in infected sheep) was cloned and sequenced. The amino acid sequence predicted from the cloned gene revealed 88.8 and 51.2% identity to the dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase SucB protein from Brucella abortus and Escherichia coli, respectively. Ser...
متن کاملAmplification, cloning and expression of Brucella melitensis bp26 gene (OMP28) isolated from Markazi province (Iran) and purification of Bp26 Protein
Brucellosis is a debilitative disease that imposes costs on both economy and society. It is shown that although the vaccine can prevent abortion, it does not provide complete protection against infection. In Iran, Brucella melitensis is a common causative agent for brucellosis and BP26 protein of this bacterium having a good antigenesity and an important vaccine candidate. In this study B. meli...
متن کاملEpitope mapping of the Brucella melitensis BP26 immunogenic protein: usefulness for diagnosis of sheep brucellosis.
Sequencing of bp26, the gene encoding the Brucella sp. immunogenic BP26 periplasmic protein, was performed in the reference strains of Brucella abortus, B. suis, and B. ovis. The three bp26 sequences were almost identical to that published for B. melitensis 16M bp26, and only minor nucleotide substitutions, without modifying the amino acid sequence, were observed between species. The bp26 genes...
متن کاملIsolation, cloning and expression of the Brucella melitensis Omp31 gene
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease transmitted to humans either from animals or from their products.Although brucellosis can be found worldwide, the Mediterranean Basin, South and Central America, EasternEurope, Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East have currently been listed as high-risk regions. Thegenus Brucella is classified in at least nine species. Brucella melitensis is the glo...
