A Recombinant 47-kDa Outer Membrane Protein Induces an Immune Response against Orientia tsutsugamushi Strain Boryong
We investigated the 47-kDa outer membrane protein (OMP), which is a periplasmic serine protease and an antigenic major surface protein of Orientia tsutsugamushi, as a vaccine candidate. We developed a conventional subunit vaccine expressing recombinant 47-kDa OMP (rec47) and a DNA vaccine (p47). In mouse immunization experiments, intranasal immunization with rec47 alone or with rec47 plus heat-...
متن کاملRecombinant 56-kilodalton major outer membrane protein antigen of Orientia tsutsugamushi Shanxi and its antigenicity.
The gene encoding the 56-kDa protein of Orientia tsutsugamushi Shanxi was amplified by a nested PCR and cloned into the expression vector pQE30. The 56-kDa protein of O. tsutsugamushi Shanxi (Sxh56) was expressed as a fusion protein with the His(6)-binding protein of Escherichia coli by deleting the signal peptide-encoding sequence from the 5' end of the open reading frame. The recombinant prot...
متن کاملUsing Recombinant Chlamydia Major Outer Membrane Protein (MOMP) in ELISA Diagnostic Kit
Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the main causes of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) such as prostatitis and epididymitis in men and cervicitis, endometriosis, vaginitis and ureogenital tract infections in women. Serological tests with sensitivities related to specific antigens are commonly used as routine laboratory tests for diagnosis of Chlamydia. In this research the Chlamydia Major O...
متن کاملCloning, Expression and Purification of Truncated Chlamydia Trachomatis Outer Membrane Protein 2 (Omp2) and its Application in an ELISA Assay
Background: Although a simple and direct method does not exist for the detection of chlamydial infections, there are situations in which reliable serological tests, with sensi-tivity related to a specific antigen, could be helpful. Objective: The aim of this study was to clone the first 1100 bp of the C. trachomatis outer membrane protein 2 (omp2) gene in order to prepare a recombinant protein ...
متن کاملamplification and cloning of a gene encoding a 41 kda outer membrane protein (lipl41) of leptospira interrogans serovar canicola
background: leptospirosis has been recognized as an important reemerging infectious disease caused by pathogenic leptospira spp. a major challenge of this disease is the application of a basic research to improve diagnostic method. outer membrane proteins of leptospira are potential candidates that could be useful in diagnosis. among them the lipl41 is an immunogenic protein which is present on...
