Abstract:

Background & Objective: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major causative agent of diarrhea. Enterotoxins and the colonization factors (CFs) are major virulence factors in ETEC infections. The bacterium binds to the intestinal epithelial cell surface through colonization factors and produces enterotoxins that cause excessive fluid and electrolyte secretion in the lumen of the intestine, which ultimately leads to diarrhea. Due to the difficult of treatment and the high prevalence of this disease, the design of the vaccine against this organism is one of the goals of the World Health Organization. The CooD-CotD protein, as adhesion tip subunits of CS1 and CS2, plays an important role in bacterial attachment to the intestinal epithelial cells. In this study, the expression and purification of chimeric protein CooD-CotD was carried out with the aim of investigating as candidate vaccine. Materials & Methods: In this study, codon optimization of cooD-cotD chimeric gene was performed by Gene Designer software. The gene was amplified by PCR and cloned into pJET1.2 / blunt then it was subcloned into pET28a to express chimeric protein. Recombinant protein was purified following expression, using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and confirmed by western blotting analysis. Results: The presence of 82kDa in the SDS-PAGE gel showed that expression of CooD-CotD chimeric protein and confirmed by western blotting analysis. Yield of purified protein was 121 mg/ml. Conclusions: Expression and protein purification studies showed that this protein has expression in the homologous host.

Immunogenicity of a Fusion Protein Comprising Coli Surface Antigen 3 and Labile B Subunit of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Background: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains are the major causes of diarrheal disease in humans and animals. Colonization factors and enterotoxins are the major virulence factors in ETEC pathogenesis. For the broad-spectrum protection against ETEC, one could focus on colonization factors and non-toxic heat labile as a vaccine candidate. Methods: A fusion protein is composed of a...

Expression Cloning of Recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ Genes Encoding Cytoplasmic and Nuclear P-galactosidase Variants

Objective(s) Nonviral vector can be an attractive alternative to gene delivery in experimental study. In spite of some advantages in comparison with the viral vectors, there are still some limitations for efficiency of gene delivery in nonviral vectors. To determine the effective expression, the recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ genes were cloned into the different variants of pcDNA3.1 and the...
