摘要
采用pcDNA3与pMT两种基因表达裁体,构建包含丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)核心区(C区)或全结构基因区(核心区、包膜区)的质粒。经纯化后直接对Balb/c小鼠进行骨骼肌或尾部皮内注射,2~6w后采血,用ELISA法检测小鼠抗核壳区的体液应答。结果表明:DNA免疫可引起小鼠产生抗HCV核壳区的体液应答,加强免疫2次后可使特异性抗体平均滴度达到1800以上。提示DNA免疫可作为丙型肝炎病毒感染的潜在防御手段。
Plasmids which contains hepatitis C virus nucleocapsid region alone or structural gene were constructed by cloning into two eukaryotic expression vector(pcDNA3,pMT).Intramuscular or intradermal immunization of Balb/c mice with these constructs in the form of naked DNA elicited humoral responses to the HCV nucleocapsid within 2 to 6 weeks postinjection in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The mean serum titer anti nucleocapsid specific antibody were found to be above 1∶800 after two boosted injections,and these titers remained stable until the end of the study(18 weeks postinjection).This findings suggest the HCV structural gene immunization warrants further investigation as a potential vaccine against HCV infection.
