abstract

brucellosis is a well-known infection in domestic animals which caused by brucella bacterium. due toserious economic and medical consequences of this disease, various efforts have been made to prevent theinfection through the use of recombinant vaccines based on brucella outer membrane protein (omp)antigens. the objectives of the present study were cloning, sequencing and epitope prediction of omp25and bls genes as two major brucella melitensis antigens. the full-length open reading frame (orf) ofomp25 and bls genes were amplified and cloned into ptz57r/t vector. phylogenetic analysis ofsequenced genes showed that both genes were nearly similar in different brucella species. several onlineprediction softwares were used to predict b and t-cells epitopes, secondary and tertiary structures,antigenicity ability and enzymatic degradation sites. bioinformatic tools used in the current study wereconfirmed by the results of three different experimental epitope predictions. bioinformatic analysisidentified five and two b-cell and two and one t-cell epitopes for omp25 and bls antigens, respectively.finally, according to the antigenicity ability and proteosomal recognition site common b and t-cell epitopewas predicted for omp25 (154-162 amino acids) and bls (37-48 and 119-139 amino acids). results of thisstudy might be useful for recombinant vaccine development.

Cloning, expression and molecular analysis of Iranian Brucella melitensis Omp25 gene for designing a subunit vaccine

Brucellosis is a well-known domestic animal infectious disease, which is caused by Brucella bacterium. The outer membrane protein 25 kDa (Omp25) gene plays an important role in simulating of TNF-α, IFN-α, macrophage, and cytokines cells. In the current study molecular cloning and expression analysis of Omp25 gene for designing a subunit vaccine against Brucella was investigated. Amplifying the ...

Immunogenicity evaluation of plasmids encoding Brucella melitensis Omp25 and Omp31 antigens in BALB/c mice

Objective(s): Vaccination is one of the most effective means to protect humans and animals against brucellosis. Live attenuated Brucella vaccines are considered effective in animals but they may be potentially infectious to humans, so it is vital to improve the immunoprotective effects and safety of vaccines against Brucella. This study was designed to evaluate the immunogenicity of DNA vaccine...

In silico analysis of chimeric TF, Omp31 and BP26 fragments of Brucella melitensis for development of a multi subunit vaccine candidate

Objective(s):Brucellosis, especially caused by Brucella melitensis, remains one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide with more than 500,000 human cases reported annually. The commonly used live attenuated vaccine in ovine brucellosis prophylaxis is B. melitensis Rev1. But due to different problems caused by the administration of this vaccine, a protective subunit vaccine against B. me...

Cloning and Expression of Heat Shock Protein 60kDa Gene from Brucella melitensis as Subunit Vaccine

Brucellosis is caused by the bacterium Brucella and affects various domestic and wild species. GroEL (Heat Shock Protein 60kDa) as one of the major antigens that stimulate the immune system, increases Brucella survival. The aim of the current study was to clone and express GroEL in Escherichia coli in order to design subunit vaccine. Amplifying was performed using specific primers. The full-len...
