Caracterização de proteínas de membrana de Leptospira interrogans expressas em Escherichia coli. / Characterization of membrane proteins of Leptospira interrogans expressed in Escherichia coli.Mendes, Renata de Siqueira 19 August 2011 (has links)
O sequenciamento genômico da L. interrogans sorovar Copenhageni e os avanços das análises bioinformáticas permitiram a identificação de seis novos candidatos vacinais. Esses genes de Leptospira foram submetidos a ensaios de conservação do DNA genômico, RNA mensageiro e proteína nativa correspondente em doze sorovares de Leptospira, nos quais o gene LIC11469 foi o mais conservado. As proteínas recombinantes rLIC11469 e rLIC11030 foram purificadas por cromatografia de afinidade a metal, e submetidas a ensaio de dicroísmo circular. Em ensaios de localização celular pudemos observar a presença das proteínas nativas correspondentes na membrana externa de Leptospira. Ensaios de adesão mostraram a ligação da proteína rLIC11469 à laminina e ao plasminogênio. Ensaios de imunização e desafio demonstraram que a proteína rLIC11030 conferiu proteção contra infecção letal de L. interrogans em hamsters. Ambas as proteínas apresentaram reatividade com anticorpos presentes em soros de pacientes com leptospirose, sugerindo sua expressão durante a infecção. / The genomic sequencing of the L. interrogans serovar Copenhageni and the advances of bioinformatics analysis allowed the identification of six new vaccine candidates. These genes were subjected to genomic DNA, mRNA and native protein conservation assays in twelve serovars from Leptospira, and the gene LIC11469 was the most conserved among these serovars. The recombinant proteins rLIC11469 and rLIC11030 were purified by metal affinity chromatography, and subjected to circular dichroism. Through cellular localization assays we could observe the presence of the corresponding native proteins on the outer membrane of Leptospira. In adhesion assays, the protein rLIC11469 showed binding to laminin and plasminogen. Immunization and challenge assays showed that the protein rLIC11030 afforded protection against lethal leptospiral inoculation in hamsters. Both proteins showed reactivity against sera of patients diagnosed with leptospirosis, suggesting that these proteins are probably expressed during infection.

Avaliação da atividade imunogênica de três proteínas de Leptospira interrogans expressas em Escherichia coli. / Evaluation of immunogenic activity of three proteins of Leptospira interrogans expressed in Escherichia coli.Souza, Natalie Michele de 25 April 2013 (has links)
A leptospirose é uma zoonose causada por bactérias patogênicas do gênero Leptospira. No mundo, aproximadamente 500.000 casos são reportados a cada ano, com 10% de taxa de mortalidade. Atualmente, vacinas contra leptospirose são compostas por células inativadas e são ineficazes em diferentes aspectos. Após analise do genoma, os genes LIC11121, LIC11087, LIC11228 e LIC11084 foram escolhidos para caracterização da imunogenicidade de suas respectivas proteínas. Esses genes foram clonados no vetor de expressão pAE e as proteínas recombinantes foram purificadas. Os resultados sugerem que essas proteínas podem estar localizadas na membrana externa, são imunogênicas, possivelmente expressas durante a infecção e que podem ter envolvimento em mecanismos de evasão do sistema imune e de patogenicidade da bactéria. Além disso, em um de dois experimentos, a proteína rLIC11084 induziu imunidade protetora parcial em hamsters imunizados frente desafio letal. / Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic bacteria of genus Leptospira. In the world, nearly 500,000 cases are reported each year, with 10% of mortality rate. Currently, vaccines against leptospirosis are composed by inactivated cells that are ineffective in many aspects. After genome analysis, the genes LIC11121, LIC11087, LIC11228 e LIC11084 were chosen for immunogenicity characterization of their respective proteins. These genes were cloned in the pAE expression vector and the proteins encoded by LIC11087, LIC11228 and LIC11084 were purified. The results suggest the localization of these proteins in the bacterial outer membrane, are immunogenic, are possibly expressed during infection and may have involvement in mechanisms of immune system evasion and pathogenicity. Moreover, in one of two experiments, the rLIC11084 protein induced partial protective immunity of immunized hamsters against lethal challenge.
