摘要: 嗜水气单胞菌(Aeromonas hydrophila)是一种常见的条件致病菌,控制该菌在水产养殖业中的危害是当前亟待解决的问题。利用克隆表达等分子生物学手段,获得嗜水气单胞菌 ATCC 7966 OprM 纯化蛋白,肌肉注射斑马鱼后对其免疫相关基因的转录水平进行检测,探索其免疫应答效果。结果显示大多数免疫相关基因表达上调,表明OprM蛋白在斑马鱼体内能够产生较好的免疫应答。进一步利用嗜水气单胞菌强毒株LP-2对免疫后斑马鱼进行攻毒实验,发现注射OprM蛋白后相对免疫保护率达89.47%,以上结果表明嗜水气单胞菌外膜蛋白OprM对斑马鱼具有较高的免疫保护性,是一种潜在的嗜水气单胞菌候选疫苗。

Abstract: Aeromonas hydrophila is a common conditional pathogen. Controlling the damage of this bacterium in aquaculture industry is an urgent problem to be solved. Hereby the purified protein of A. hydrophila ATCC 7966 OprM was obtained by molecular biology methods such as cloning and expression. After intramuscular injection of the purified protein to zebrafish,the transcription level of immune-related genes was detected and the immune response was explored. The results showed that most of the immune-related genes were up-regulated,indicating that OprM protein evoked a considerable immune responses in zebrafish. Further velogenic strain A. hydrophila LP-2 was used to challenge the immunized zebrafish,and it was revealed that the relative immune protection rate after the injection of OprM protein reached 89.47%,the above results indicate outer membrane protein OprM is highly immunoprotective against zebrafish and is a potential vaccine candidate for A. hydrophila.

Key words: Aeromonas hydrophila, outer membrane protein OprM, immunogenicity, immune response
