abstract

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 global pathogenic species ofbrucella. the outer membrane protein 31, (omp31) from b. melitensis is considered as a protectiveimmunogen and an important candidate vaccine. contamination of purified omp31 protein by biochemicalmethods has made some restrictions in practical experiments. in this study, the omp31coding gene of b.melitensis rev 1 strain was inserted in pet32b(+) plasmid with extra his-tag sequence. the integrity of theconstructed plasmid was confirmed using restriction enzyme mapping and sequencing. omp31 wasexpressed after induction with iptg in escherichia coli bl21. recombinant omp31 (romp31) was purifiedby chromatography through ni-agarose. the electrophoresis showed successful purification andimmunoblotting confirmed immunereactivity of romp31. obtained romp31 could be used as a researchexperimental tool in protection assays to find its potential as a vaccine candidate.

In silico cloning and bioinformatics study of Brucella melitensis Omp31 antigen in different mammalian expression vectors

Brucella melitensis, as a pathogenic gram-negative intracellular bacterium, causes brucellosis in animals and humans. According to literature, the B. melitensis outer membrane protein 31 (Omp31) is considered as an important vaccine candidate against brucellosis. The aim of the current study was to compare three different expression constructs containing B. melitensis Omp31 antigen using bioinf...

Cloning and molecular characterization of Omp31 gene from Brucella melitensis Rev 1 strain

Brucellosis, caused by the genus Brucella bacterium, is a well-known infection among domestic animals. Considering the serious economic and medical consequences of this infection, various preventive efforts have been made through using recombinant vaccines, based on outer membrane protein (OMP) antigens of Brucella species. The objective of the present study was to clone, analyze the sequence, ...

In silico Design of Truncated Omp31 Protein of Brucella melitensis: Its Cloning and High Level Expression in Escherichia coli

  Introduction: Omp31 is animmunodominant and protective antigen conserved in Brucella species and a good candidate for vaccine design. Material & methods: The present study aimed at in silico design of the truncated Omp31 (TOmp31) using bioinformatic tools and to express the selected form in Escherichia coli (E. coli) Results and conclusion: Various bioinformatically calculated scores for the ...

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...

Amplification, 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...
