Screening of recombinant proteins as antigens in indirect ELISA for diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis
Bovine tuberculosis is an important infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis, which is responsible for considerable economic losses. This disease constitutes a serious public health problem. Control programs in most countries, including Brazil, are based on the identification and slaughter of infected animals, as defined by the skin tuberculin test, which has its constraints. In the pre...
Tuberculosis remains a major health problem throughout the world causing large number of deaths. Effective disease control and eradication programs require the identification of major antigens recognized by the protective responses against M. tuberculosis. In this study, we have investigated humoral and cellular immune responses to M. tuberculosis-specific Ag85A, Ag85B, and ESAT-6 antigens in B...
BACKGROUND The absence of certain genomic loci that are present in most of the virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as well as lack of lasting memory responses are some of the major causes attributed to the non effectiveness of Bacille Calmette-Gue'rin (BCG) vaccine. Immunization schedules addressing these issues can offer better strategy for protection against tuberculosis. METHODS...
We constructed two recombinant Mycobacterium bovis BCG (rBCG) strains expressing ESAT-6 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, named rBCG-1 and rBCG-2. rBCG-1 contained the ESAT-6 gene linked to BCG hsp60 and expressed a fusion protein, while rBCG-2, with a secretory sequence, could secret ESAT-6 into the culture medium. There was no evidence for increased virulence of the two rBCG strains when we made...
Differential delayed-type hypersensitivity skin testing with tuberculin purified protein derivatives from Mycobacterium bovis and M. avium is the standard for diagnosing bovine tuberculosis. However, improved tests based on defined, specific antigens are urgently needed. In the present study, a combination of bioinformatics, molecular biology, and bovine models of infection were used to screen ...
ESAT-6 is one of the most studied antigens in vaccine, diagnosis, and pathogenic mechanism of tuberculosis. In the present study, a meta-analysis was performed regarding the use of ESAT-6 based antibody detection test for diagnosing nonhuman primate (NHP) tuberculosis. Studies in English and Chinese were searched and selected strictly. Quality of included studies was assessed using the standard...
The tuberculin skin test has been used for the diagnosis of bovine and human tuberculosis (TB) for over a hundred years. However, the specificity of the test is compromised by vaccination with the Mycobacterium bovis-derived vaccine strain bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Since current promising vaccines against bovine TB are based on heterologous prime-boost combinations that include BCG, there ...
IFN-γ release assays (IGRAs) are better indicators of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection than the tuberculin skin test (TST) in Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-vaccinated populations. However, IGRAs do not discriminate active and latent infections (LTBI) and no gold standard for LTBI diagnosis is available. Thus, since improved tests to diagnose M. tuberculosis infection are required, we asses...
مقدمه: کاندیداهای واکسنی مختلفی برای جایگزینی تنها واکسن موجود برعلیه مایکوباکتریوم توبرکلوزیس (bcg) وجود دارد. در این میان پروتئین esat-6 نقش ویژه ای دارد. از روش های مناسب برای تجویز واکسن علیه این باکتری می توان به روش تجویز درون بینی اشاره کرد. یکی از سیستم های مناسب انتقال واکسن از طریق بینی، استفاده از نانوپارتیکل های زیست تخریب پذیر می باشد. در میان پلیمرهای زیست تخریب پذیر، پلیمر کایتوز...
The ESX-1 secretion system plays a critical role in the virulence of M. tuberculosis and M. marinum, but the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms are not clearly defined. Virulent M. marinum is able to escape from the Mycobacterium-containing vacuole (MCV) into the host cell cytosol, polymerize actin, and spread from cell to cell. In this study, we have examined nine M. marinum ESX-1 mutan...
