丙型肝炎病毒多表位抗原在恒河猴中的免疫应答及保护性试验

摘要
利用HCV抗原多表位来研制HCV疫苗是目前的一个新方向。本研 究利用HCV的HCV的5个保守表位串联,并加入破伤风类毒素上的一个T细胞激活位点,设计成 一个HCV多表位抗原基因PCX,在大肠杆菌中表达,用此蛋白免疫恒河猴,诱导猴体产生了较 高的抗体水平,滴度达1∶1000以上,在免疫后的60周抗体滴度仍达1∶40以上。同时,在免 疫后6周用人HCV阳性血清攻击猴子,免疫PCX的猴子出现一过性ALT升高,在攻击后三周内用 RT-PCR检测到猴血清内HCV的RNA阳性。结果表明,免疫多表位的PCX蛋白可以诱导机体产生 高水平的免疫应答。 It is a new approach to study and produce HCV vaccine by using multi-epitope antigen of HCV. In this study, multi-epitope antigen gene, PCX, which consists of 5 epitopes of HCV and an epitope of T cell stimulation o f tetanus toxoid, was expressed in E.coli. And rhesus monkeys were vaccinate d by expressed antigen and elicited the high humoral response, the titer of anti bodies to PCX was high to 1∶1000. In 60th week after vaccination, the titer of Abs was still to 1∶40. Meanwhile, positive human sera of HCV challenged vaccina ted monkeys after 6 weeks immunized, ALT value rose transiently in monkeys vacci nated by PCX. It was positive in monitoring RNA of HCV using RT-PCR in monkey s era. The result demonstrated that Rhesus monkey immunized by multi-epitope PCX could elicit high-level immune responses.

And rhesus monkeys were vaccinate d by expressed antigen and elicited the high humoral response, the titer of anti bodies to PCX was high to 1∶1000.
